Gnocchi Langostino Recipe

This Gnocchi Langostino recipe combines golden griddled gnocchi, tender langostino meat, bright lemon, juicy tomatoes, briny capers, and a rich Parmesan cream sauce for a brilliantly satisfying dinner. Featured on Griddle Nation, Nate Lippy transforms simple ingredients into an elevated griddle meal that is approachable enough for home cooks.

The Inspiration

Gnocchi and seafood make a naturally satisfying combination, bringing together the soft, comforting texture of potato gnocchi with the delicate sweetness of shellfish. This recipe takes that classic pairing in an exciting direction by preparing the entire dish directly on a hot griddle.

On Griddle Nation, Nate Lippy draws inspiration from viral cooking recipes and adapts them to the flat-top cooking style that defines the show. Rather than boiling the gnocchi separately and preparing the sauce in a traditional saucepan, the ingredients come together directly on the griddle.

The high heat allows the gnocchi to develop lightly browned edges before butter, white wine, and lemon are added. The langostino meat, tomatoes, and capers then build additional layers of flavour, while heavy cream and Parmesan create a rich sauce that quickly coats every piece of gnocchi.

Ingredients

• 12oz. Gnocchi
• 4Tbsp Butter
• Graza Frizzle High Heat Cooking Oil
• Blackstone Tuscan Herb Seasoning
• 2oz. White Wine
• Juice and Zest of 1 Lemon
• 6oz. Langostino Meat
• ½ C Grap Tomatoes, Halved
• 3Tbsp Capers
• 1/2C Parmesan Cheese, Shredded
• 1C Heavy Cream
• Parsley, Chopped for Garnish

Method

• Preheat griddle to medium heat. Allow 10-15 minutes or until the surface darkens and light smoke appears
• Add a thin layer of Frizzle cooking oil to griddle and lay down the gnocchi. Season with Tuscan Herb seasoning.
• Allow to cook for 2-3 minutes then add butter, wine, and lemon juice and zest. Stir to combine.
• After cooking for 1-2 minutes more, add langostino meat, grape tomatoes, and capers. Stir to combine.
• Lastly add the heavy cream and parmesan and immediately toss to combine and let sauce form and thicken. This happens quickly.
• Remove from griddle and plate. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this Gnocchi Langostino as a comforting lunch or dinner when you want an elevated meal with plenty of flavour and texture. Because the dish already contains a rich cream sauce, seafood, and potatoes, it pairs especially well with lighter sides such as a crisp green salad, arugula salad, or simply dressed vegetables. Crusty bread can also be served alongside the gnocchi to soak up the lemon-Parmesan cream sauce.

For a dinner gathering, transfer the finished gnocchi to a large serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley and additional lemon zest for a colourful presentation. A refreshing sparkling water or citrus-forward drink can also complement the richness of the dish.
