1-Sauté garlic: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add minced garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, without browning.

2-Cook shrimp: Add shrimp in a single layer, cook 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque, then remove to a plate.

3-Wilt spinach: In the same skillet, toss in chopped spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute, then remove to the plate with shrimp.

4-Make creamy Parmesan sauce: Pour heavy cream into the skillet (optionally deglaze with white wine first) and bring to a gentle bubble. Reduce heat to low, slowly sprinkle in grated Parmesan while stirring constantly until smooth and thick. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

5-Cook gnocchi in sauce: Drop gnocchi directly into the sauce without pre-boiling; stir gently to coat. Simmer about 3 minutes until gnocchi float.

6-Combine and serve: Return shrimp and spinach to the skillet, toss together, and let rest off heat for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan on top.
