Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bunch fresh sweet basil, stemmed
5 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
4 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic
½ tablespoon salt
½ tablespoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ pound raw shrimp
1 (12 ounce) package potato gnocchi

Steps:

  • Combine basil, 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, olive oil, whole garlic cloves, salt, and pepper in a blender; puree until pesto is smooth.
