Total Time25 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound medium shrimp (51/70 count), peeled and deveined, tails removed fresh or thawed if frozen
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup nonfat milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 package store-bought ravioli (Spinach & Ricotta, 4-Cheese, or 5-Cheese) about 1 package
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese or 3/4 cup shredded (about 2 ounces)
  • 3/4 cup frozen green peas, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil, chopped

Instructions

  • Rinse the shrimp and pat dry.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the shrimp, season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and cook 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer translucent; transfer shrimp to a plate and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and cook 30 seconds while whisking until lightly browned and nutty.
  • Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, then the milk, a few tablespoons at a time, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
  • Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes and bring the liquid to a gentle boil.
  • Add the ravioli in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 4 minutes; do not overcook. Reduce heat to low.
  • Stir in the Parmesan, thawed peas, and reserved shrimp and cook just until warmed through, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately sprinkled with chopped parsley or basil, and additional salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.

Equipment

  • large nonstick skillet

Notes

  • This dish is best the day it is made.
  • Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of stock or milk to loosen the sauce.
