Beer Shrimp Scampi
Instructions
1. Start a pot of salted water to cook the gnocchi.
2. Heat frying pan to medium/medium-high heat, add butter. When the butter is fully melted and foaming add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for 1 min on one side, flip and cook 2 mins on other side. Toward end of cooking, season shrimp with Old Bay and red pepper flakes. Transfer shrimp to a bowl to cool, leaving as much butter in the pan as possible.
3. Add the garlic to the pan, cook for a couple of minutes to mellow the garlic. Then add the soy sauce, lemon juice, and beer. Reduce the sauce until slightly thickened. While the sauce is thickening, add the gnocchi to the pot to cook.
4. As the gnocchi are floating to the surface, add the shrimp to the reduced sauce and toss. Using a spider, remove the gnocchi from the water and add to the shrimp and sauce, toss a couple times to coat. Plate the scampi and garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy.
