Ingredients List
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1 large onion, thinly sliced
-
6 mushrooms, sliced
-
1 teaspoon brown sugar
-
1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
-
20 peeled and deveined large shrimp (21 to 30 per pound)
-
3 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1 pinch saffron
-
salt to taste
-
2 tablespoons shredded fresh basil
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, and brown sugar, cooking and stirring for about 10 minutes until the onion turns a deep brown color. Remove the caramelized onions from the skillet and set aside.
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the gnocchi and return to a boil. Cook the gnocchi until they float to the top, approximately 3 minutes, then drain and keep warm.

Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and add the shrimp. Stir-fry until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 5 minutes. Add the caramelized onions, sour cream, paprika, and saffron. Stir until the mixture begins to simmer, then gently incorporate the cooked gnocchi. Season with salt to taste.

Transfer the gnocchi mixture to a serving dish, and garnish with shredded basil and Parmesan cheese before serving.
