Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, trim the woody ends from the asparagus and cut into 1-inch pieces. Peel and mince the garlic. Quarter the lemon.
- Once the water is boiling, add the ravioli and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until al dente and floating, about 4-5 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the ravioli.
- Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry. Heat oil in a large pan over high heat. Add the shrimp, asparagus and garlic powder; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until shrimp are opaque and asparagus is tender, 3-4 minutes. In the last minute, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.
- Add the peas, cream sauce base, chicken stock concentrate and juice from 2 lemon wedges to the pan. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 30-60 seconds. Add the drained ravioli and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water until creamy.
- Divide the creamy lemon garlic shrimp ravioli among bowls. Squeeze remaining lemon juice over the top and serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For extra brightness, add a pinch of lemon zest along with the juice.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a minute longer before adding the ravioli.
Substitute frozen peas for fresh if needed; add them straight from the freezer.
