Basil Shrimp and Rice

First Candida safe dinner. Brown rice with basil and shrimp. Now this dish was pretty simple (which is kind of a theme for me). Cook up some rice, toss in some fresh basil and throw in the already cooked shrimp from the grocery store....I feel totally lazy. For the record, they only had two kinds of shrimp; the cooked ones and then uncooked ones that had weird little leg things. Ugh! I hate cooking with animals...one of these days I may get used to it.

Fontina-Gruyere Basil Gnocchi

This recipe is heaven in my mouth! I went to grocery store and did something that a rarely do...I didn't have a plan. I didn't have a recipe or list, no thoughts or convictions....just a shopping bag and my credit card. I did have a strong desire to use cheese...and boy did I ever. I created a masterpiece: Fontina-Gruyere Basil Gnocchi.

I am not sure on exact amounts but I will do my best to instruct you....

Fontina-Gruyere Basil Gnocchi (Heaven in my mouth)

-A package (or two) or Gnocchi - The kind I got only requires that you boil it for 3 minutes

-1/2 block shredded Fontina Cheese (in the fancy cheese area)

-1/2 block shredded Gruyere Cheese (in the fancy cheese area)

-Milk

-Butter

-Corn starch or flour

-Fresh basil leaves

Melt about 1/4 of a stick of butter in a sauce pan. Once melted add a few hefty splashes of milk. Coat the mixed shredded cheeses with corn starch by tossing it in a bowl. The cheese should have a light dusting. Slowly add the cheese into the butter and milk mixture until melted on low-medium heat. Pour over the cooked Gnocchi and top with fresh basil leaves.

Enjoy!
