About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 14 oz potato gnocchi
- 11 oz large raw prawns
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp chilli oil
- 2 tbsp fresh flat‑leaf parsley
- to taste sea salt
- to taste freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- 1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the gnocchi and cook according to the package directions, usually 2–3 minutes, until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
- 2While the gnocchi cooks, pat the peeled and deveined prawns dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- 3Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat the surface evenly.
- 4Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 30‑45 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
- 5Increase the heat to medium‑high and add the seasoned prawns in a single layer. Cook for 1‑2 minutes on each side, or until the prawns turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside on a warm plate.
- 6Reduce the heat to medium and pour the chilli oil into the same skillet. Swirl to combine with any butter‑garlic residue, cooking for about 30 seconds to warm the oil.
- 7Return the cooked gnocchi to the pan. Toss gently for 2‑3 minutes, allowing the gnocchi to develop a light golden crust on the edges while absorbing the garlic‑butter‑chilli mixture.
- 8Add the cooked prawns back to the skillet and stir briefly to re‑heat, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
- 9Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper if needed.
- 10Transfer the gnocchi and prawns to serving plates, drizzle any remaining pan sauce over the top, and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
- 11Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the contrast of crispy gnocchi, buttery garlic prawns, and the subtle heat from the chilli oil.
