instructions
    1

    Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once boiling, add the ravioli and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes, until they float. Drain and set aside.

    2

    While the ravioli is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt.

    3

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they're pink and opaque.

    4

    Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

    5

    Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

    6

    Carefully add the cooked ravioli to the sauce and gently toss to coat the pasta evenly.

    7

    Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

How to be creative
  • Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra color and flavor.
  • Use lemon zest and juice for a fresh, bright contrast to the creamy sauce.
  • Incorporate different types of cheese, such as goat cheese or ricotta, for a unique twist.
Important Tips
  • Make sure not to overcook the shrimp; they should be tender and juicy.
  • Using freshly grated parmesan will enhance the flavor more than pre-grated options.
  • Taste the sauce as you go; adjust seasoning to your preference.
