Sometimes I just daydream about how I can incorporate shrimp scampi into my every day life.

I mean, we have the actual shrimp scampi. The dip shrimp scampi. The spaghetti squash shrimp scampi. The foil packet shrimp scampi.

I’m really trying to hit them all, especially with this gnocchi shrimp scampi here.

Now we have the best elements of a shrimp scampi here – the garlicky, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth goodness, of course. And it’s soaking up the perfectly golden-brown toasted gnocchi and sauteed shrimp.

You also have all the grilled baguette slices you need to sop up every last drop of the drippings in this pan!
