20-Minute Garlicky Shrimp and Kale Gnocchi
It’s safe to say my new obsession is sheet pan gnocchi. Unlike traditional pasta, gnocchi doesn’t have to be boiled to cook. Not only does cooking gnocchi on a sheet pan cut down on dishes, but it gets lightly toasted which gives it a delicious flavour. Gnocchi only takes about 10 minutes to bake in the oven. In this recipe for 20-Minute Garlicky Shrimp and Kale Gnocchi, I’ve paired gnocchi with both quick-cooking protein and vegetable – shrimp and kale!
How to make 20-Minute Garlicky Shrimp and Kale Gnocchi
To make this recipe, all you’ll need is a parchment lined sheet pan.
Add the gnocchi and thawed shrimp to the sheet pan.
Tip: dry off your thawed shrimp with a paper towel to reduce any water that might seep out during cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Pour over the shrimp and gnocchi sheet pan.
Roast gnocchi and shrimp at 425F for 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and top with kale leaves. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil and season with salt. Return to the oven and continue to roast for 5-6 minutes more, until the kale is crispy and has started to brown on the edges.
