Instructions
Place a large skillet over medium high heat with the butter and oil. Once hot, add in the garlic and sauté stirring often, until fragrant and lightly golden brown, about 1 minute. Add the wine (or broth if using), salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes and bring to a simmer. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
Add the shrimp and sauté until they just turn pink, about 2 to 4 minutes, depending on their size. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice and adjust seasoning accordingly, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Add in the gnocchi and cook until they float. Using a slotted spoon transfer to the shrimp sauce and toss to evenly combine. Serve with a sprinkling of crushed red pepper flakes and parsley if desired. Enjoy!
