  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 1 pound (about 450 grams) medium shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails removed (fresh or frozen and thawed)

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

– Β½ teaspoon kosher salt

– ΒΌ teaspoon black pepper

– 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth

– 1 cup (240 ml) nonfat milk

– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

– 1 teaspoon garlic powder

– Β½ teaspoon onion powder

– β…› teaspoon red pepper flakes

– 1 package of store-bought ravioli (spinach and ricotta recommended)

– Β½ cup (about 50 grams) finely grated Parmesan cheese (or ΒΎ cup shredded, approximately 2 ounces)

– ΒΎ cup (about 115 grams) frozen green peas, thawed

– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or basil

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Shrimp Add the shrimp, kosher salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the shrimp are opaque, then remove them and set aside. This quick step ensures the shrimp stay tender and flavorful.

Step 2: Make the Sauce Base Melt the butter in the same skillet. Sprinkle flour over the melted butter and cook for 30 seconds, whisking continuously until it turns a nutty brown. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, adding a few tablespoons at a time to avoid lumps.

Step 3: Add Seasonings and Ravioli Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes, then bring to a gentle boil. Add the ravioli in a single layer and cook until al dente, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use spinach-ricotta ravioli for the best flavor, as it complements the creamy sauce perfectly.

Step 4: Finish and Serve Reduce heat to low, then stir in the Parmesan cheese, peas, and reserved shrimp. Heat through for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or basil, and adjust seasoning if needed. For more easy pasta ideas, check out our easy chicken spaghetti recipe on the blog.

Notes

🍝 Use spinach-ricotta ravioli for the best flavor combination – the earthy spinach pairs perfectly with the sweet shrimp and creamy sauce
⏰ Avoid overcooking the ravioli – they should be al dente when you add them to the sauce, as they’ll continue to cook slightly as you finish the dish
πŸ₯› Skim milk keeps the sauce light and creamy while reducing calories – you can substitute with whole milk for an even richer texture if preferred
