Preparation of the green prawn dumplings
Clean, wash and cook the spinach in a pan without adding water, then cool them under cold water, squeeze and finely chop them.
Wash and boil the potatoes in their skins by putting them in a pan with salted cold water brought to a boil, for about 20 minutes, then drain, peel and pass them in the potato masher.
Put the mashed potatoes in a bowl with the eggs, parmesan, spinach, salt and flour.
Quickly mix all the ingredients, cover with a napkin and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
On a work surface, take the pasta and form small loaves with your hands, with the help of flour.
Cut the loaves into chunks giving them a slightly rounded shape.
Shell the prawns and cut them into small pieces.
Wash the cherry tomatoes, divide them into 4 parts and remove the seeds.
In a pan with the oil and the crumbled red pepper, brown the chopped shallot.
Add the tomatoes, and after 2 or 3 minutes the prawns.
Deglaze with fish broth or hot water, lower the heat and reduce the sauce, sprinkle with parsley and add salt and pepper.
In a pan with salted boiling water, dip the gnocchi, when they come to the surface, drain them and transfer them to a pan with the sauce, then let them thicken over high heat.
Complete the dish with the grated bottarga and serve immediately.
