Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

FAQ

Can I use frozen shrimp?

Yes, thaw the shrimp completely and pat dry before cooking to ensure they sear properly.

What can I substitute for the cream sauce base?

You can use heavy cream mixed with a little chicken broth and a pinch of garlic powder as a substitute.

How do I store leftovers?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth.
