instructions
    1

    Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once it's at a rolling boil, add the ravioli and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 4-5 minutes. When done, drain and set aside.

    2

    In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

    3

    Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Make sure to stir occasionally.

    4

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

    5

    Once the ravioli are cooked and drained, take one piece, and place about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp and cheese filling into the center. Carefully fold the ravioli over and press the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining ravioli.

    6

    In a large skillet, you can heat a bit more olive oil over low heat and gently add the stuffed ravioli. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly golden.

    7

    Serve the ravioli with a sprinkle of additional parmesan cheese and fresh parsley on top for garnish.

How to be creative
  • Add a hint of lemon zest to the cheese filling for a refreshing twist.
  • Top with a homemade tomato sauce or a creamy Alfredo sauce for added flavor.
  • Incorporate sautéed spinach or kale into the filling for an extra nutrient boost.
Important Tips
  • Make sure not to overcook the shrimp to keep them tender.
  • Seal the edges of the ravioli tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out when cooking.
  • Feel free to adjust the cheese ratio based on your taste preferences.
