This easy seafood gnocchi is a delicious dinner made with tender gnocchi, succulent shrimp, and rich crab meat, all tossed in a cheesy white wine cream sauce.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring water to a boil and cook gnocchi per package directions. Once done, place gnocchi in a bowl and cover with a paper towel. Set bowl aside.
1 pound gnocchi
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add shallots to skillet and cook until pale and tender, about 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour 1 cup of white wine into the skillet and let simmer, stirring frequently, until reduced by half, about 5-8 minutes. Pour in remaining 1/2 cup of wine and let simmer for another 2 minutes.
1 1/2 cup white wine
Add heavy whipping cream to skillet and let simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
1 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Remove saucepan from heat. Pour sauce through a mesh strainer into a medium bowl, so that garlic and shallots are removed and discarded. Pour strained sauce back into the saucepan and warm over medium heat.
Stir in parmigiano reggiano cheese and lemon juice, then allow to simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
2 cup shredded parmigiano reggiano cheese, 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Add cooked shrimp, crab meat, and gnocchi to sauce. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes or until meat and gnocchi are heated through.
