- 200 ml of fresh cream

Method
For the gnocchi
Peel the potatoes, which will have a charred skin due to contact with the burning charcoal.
Blend all the ingredients together until you have a smooth mixture. Pour into semi-spherical silicone molds and place them in a blast chiller.
Once frozen, remove the charcoal-grilled potato hemispheres using toothpicks.
Dip each one in the batter and place them in a pot of boiling water.
When they float to the surface, remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and place them on an oiled baking sheet.
For the gnocchi batter
Bake the potatoes after piercing them with a fork, on a layer of coarse salt, in an oven at 200°C (392°F) for 1 hour.
Peel the potatoes and blend them with the rest of the ingredients until you have a smooth and almost light dough.
Plating
Arrange the grilled zucchini slices on the serving plate, add the freshly sautéed red shrimp, and finally, the gnocchi.
