Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lobster ravioli according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  2. While the ravioli cooks, pat the shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the tomato paste and Italian seasoning, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Whisk in sour cream and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the reserved pasta water, stirring until the sauce is creamy and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Return the cooked ravioli and shrimp to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  5. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Stir in panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue in 15-second intervals until golden and crispy.
  6. Thinly slice the scallions. Zest the lemon. Serve the ravioli and shrimp in bowls, topped with crispy breadcrumbs, scallions and lemon zest.

Recipe Tips

Reserve pasta water before draining; it helps thicken the sauce and adds flavor.

Do not overcook the shrimp; they should be just pink and firm.

For extra crunch, toast the breadcrumbs in a dry skillet instead of microwaving.
