Ingredients
1 (12 ounce) bag frozen cauliflower gnocchi
1 pound cooked peeled shrimp (thawed if frozen)
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
pinch Pinch of salt
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the frozen cauliflower gnocchi and cook according to package directions until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
While the gnocchi cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the halved grape tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring gently, until they begin to soften slightly and release their juices.
Stir in the oregano and season with a pinch of salt to taste.
Add the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together. Heat through for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring gently to combine.
Add the drained cauliflower gnocchi to the skillet and toss everything together gently until well combined. Cook for another 1 minute, stirring carefully to avoid breaking the gnocchi.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Divide among serving bowls and serve immediately while hot.
Comments
Shrimp and cauliflower gnocchi are reliably stocked at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart across Charlotte, with no ingredient requiring a special trip. The stated 15 minutes is honest for cooking, though doesn't account for the 3-4 minutes needed to devein shrimp, bringing real prep time closer to 20 minutes—minor but worth knowing on a weeknight. Cost per serving runs around $3.50–$4.00, driven by shrimp pricing, which fluctuates seasonally but remains reasonable compared to other proteins. The dish reheats adequately (shrimp can toughen slightly, but it stays edible), and while it's not a standout for leftovers, it works well as a quick family dinner that doesn't demand constant attention once the shrimp hits the pan.
