Check out this delicious gluten free Shrimp Cauliflower Gnocchi Scampi! This easy weeknight dinner takes about 10-15 minutes to make, which is great, especially if you end up getting home late.
What makes this dish so tasty and convenient to cook is because of all the amazing premade food Trader Joe's has to offer! Instead of cooking from scratch, Trader Joe's has frozen Cauliflower gnocchi, Vegan-kale-cashew & basil pesto, and fresh lemon, which will create the sauce for this dish. (You can find the pesto here: https://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article/4998 )
This scampi is delicious, healthy and the lemon / basil-pesto combination creates a fresh citrus taste that is absorbed by the cauliflower gnocchi. It's especially exciting to know the cauliflower is filling and a healthier substitute for a typical pasta base.
What's your favorite Italian dish? Now that you have a recipe in mind, think about how you can re-create your favorite dish with a healthier substitute alternate.
*Pairs nicely with a light white wine, like Riesling or a mineral base wine like chardonnay.
