GNOCCHI DI PESCE CREMA
My Gnocchi di Pesce Crema (or, ‘Gnocchi in Seafood Cream Sauce’) is an immeasurably opulent, decadent coalescence of my Gnocchi a Forma Libera (or store-bought gnocchi – no judgements) in a garlicky cream sauce of shrimp and lobster; bedecked with a kiss of caviar. Indulge if you will.

THE NITTY GRITTY
Prepare Gnocchi according to recipe or package, if using store-bought.
In a large non-stick pan, heat butter and oil at medium high till butter is melted. Add shrimp and lobster; sauté till shrimp is slightly pink and opaque—not fully cooked. Douse with vermouth and toss; allow alcohol to dissipate (about 20 – 30 seconds). Add garlic and stir; cook till fragrant. Stir in cream and bring to a simmer; season with salt and pepper to taste. Add cooked gnocchi and toss; simmer in sauce for about 1 minute. Serve immediately. Garnish with scallions and a teaspoon of caviar over each serving and enjoy.
