Pillowy gluten-free gnocchi are tossed with sautéed shrimp in a silky cacio e pepe–style sauce made from butter, crushed peppercorns, Parmesan, and a splash of starchy cooking water to bind it all together. A crisp mixed greens salad with cucumber and tomato, dressed in a tangy sherry Dijon vinaigrette, rounds out the meal with a bright, refreshing contrast.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.
