Just as the title says “Easy” this really is such an incredibly easy dinner, especially if you go the store-bought pesto route. All you have to do is cook the gnocchi, then boil the asparagus in the same pot – and meanwhile cook the shrimp in a separate skillet then toss it all together with the pesto and lemon juice. Sounds simple right? Oh it is!
What makes this recipe so simple is also the use a of a store-bought gnocchi and not just any store-bought gnocchi – I used Delallo Potato Gnocchi. Delallo Gnocchi is actually the only shelf stable gnocchi I like. I also used it here for this Creamy Chicken and Gnocchi Soup. I love that it’s 85% potato which leaves it with a simple but great flavor. And have you tried it with shrimp? It might not be the first pairing you’d think of but it just works.
I’d always just make shrimp and pasta but once you try the shrimp and gnocchi pairing you’ll realize it’s a pretty great comfort food blend. Learn more about the versatility of shrimp here: Eat Shrimp Facebook Eat Shrimp Pinterest
