This was the best gnocchi with pesto and shrimp I've ever had! The gnocchi was cooked perfectly, the pesto was flavorful and creamy, and the shrimp were juicy and tender. I will definitely be making this dish again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out terrible. The gnocchi was hard and the pesto was bitter. The shrimp were also overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a waste of time and money. The gnocchi was mushy and the pesto was tasteless. The shrimp were the only thing that was cooked properly, but even they were bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was okay. The gnocchi was a bit bland and the pesto was too oily. The shrimp were cooked well, but the overall flavor of the dish was just average.
