Ingredients

  • 12 ounces shrimp ravioli
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

How to Make Shrimp Ravioli with Creamy Sauce

  1. Cook the ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, scraping up any bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  5. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Add the cooked ravioli and shrimp back into the skillet. Toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well-coated in the creamy sauce.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon zest, if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure not to overcook the shrimp; they should be just pink and firm.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor—avoid pre-minced varieties.
  • If you prefer a lighter sauce, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
  • Adjust seasoning to your taste; a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a nice kick.

Easy Variations

  • Swap shrimp for cooked chicken or sautéed vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
  • Add sun-dried tomatoes or artichoke hearts for added flavor and texture.
  • For a spicy twist, incorporate some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the creamy sauce.

What to Serve With It

  • A crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette to balance the richness of the dish.
  • Garlic bread or a crusty baguette for dipping into the creamy sauce.
  • A chilled glass of white wine, such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream or pasta water to loosen the sauce.
