CREAMY SHRIMP AND GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Place a large skillet with a lid over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
• Lightly rinse the shrimp to help separate them and remove any large pieces of ice. Shake off any excess water, then toss the shrimp with the lemon pepper seasoning.
• Add the shrimp to the hot oil, using tongs to move into a single layer. Cover and let cook until the shrimp start to defrost and turn pink, about 2 minutes. Uncover, flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, flipping for the final minute. Check that the shrimp are pink all over, then remove to a plate.
• Deglaze the skillet with the wine, scraping the bottom. Add the cream, mascarpone, pesto, lemon zest and good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Continue simmering for 1 to 2 minutes and allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
• Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. When the gnocchi are ready, they will begin to float.
• Drain the gnocchi and add to the sauce along with the frozen peas and the shrimp with any juices. Stir and heat through until the sauce has thickened a little more and everything is combined, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Garnish with the basil and lemon slices.
