Instructions
1-Getting started with this Shrimp Parmesan Ravioli is straightforward and fun, taking just about 15 minutes to prep and 10 minutes to cook for a total of 25 minutes. Begin by heating the olive oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the shrimp seasoned with the kosher salt and black pepper. Cook them for 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque, and set them aside for later.
2-Next, melt the unsalted butter in the same pan and mix in the all-purpose flour, stirring until it turns a nutty brown this helps thicken the sauce. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and nonfat skim milk, followed by the garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes to build that flavorful base. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then add the store-bought ravioli and let it cook for about 4 minutes until it’s al dente.
3-Once the ravioli is ready, lower the heat and stir in the finely grated Parmesan cheese, thawed frozen peas, and the cooked shrimp. Warm everything through for 30 seconds to 1 minute, and you’re almost done. Serve it right away, garnished with the chopped fresh parsley or basil, and feel free to add a bit more red pepper flakes, salt, or pepper if you like it spicier.
