Begin the class by exploring the Italian coast with a spicy shrimp dish. Master the technique to fry tender shrimp to golden perfection then whip up a zesty lemon mayonnaise flavored with Italian spices and hot chilis. Next, learn how to make gnocchi from scratch by combining flour, eggs and potatoes to make the dough.
