Transfer to a bowl without wiping the pan clean.

2. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring often, until pink on the outside but translucent in the center, approximately 2 minutes. Add peas and cook, stirring constantly, until just starting to soften, around 1 minute. Stir in the reserved gnocchi, half-and-half, and pepper. Cook until slightly thickened, for about 2 minutes.

3. Remove from heat, stir in pesto and the remaining 2 tablespoons of half-and-half. Divide the mixture among 4 shallow bowls.
