Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a simmer. Meanwhile, zest the lemon to get 1 teaspoon of zest, then cut the lemon into wedges. Pick the dill fronds from the stems and roughly chop. Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper.
- Trim the ends from the zucchini. Using a peeler, shave the zucchini lengthwise into ribbons, rotating as you go, until you reach the seedy core; discard the core. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini ribbons with half the lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until pink and firm, 3-5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Add the lobster ravioli to the simmering water and cook until tender and they float, about 3 minutes. Drain or use a slotted spoon to transfer.
- Stir the stock concentrate and ¼ cup water into the pan with the shrimp. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low. Stir in the sour cream, butter, half the dill and a squeeze of lemon juice. Gently add the cooked ravioli and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. If the sauce seems dry, add a splash of water.
- Divide the ravioli and shrimp among shallow bowls. Top with the marinated zucchini ribbons. Garnish with the remaining lemon zest and dill. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Recipe Tips
For the best texture, cook the ravioli just until they float; overcooking can make them mushy.
If you can’t find lobster ravioli, any filled pasta like cheese or spinach ravioli works well.
Adjust the lemon juice to your taste-add more for extra brightness.
The zucchini ribbons can be made ahead and marinated while you cook the rest.
