Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Ravioli

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 package (20 oz) cheese ravioli

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese ravioli and cook according to package instructions until tender, usually around 4-5 minutes. Drain the ravioli and set aside to keep warm.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Creamy Tuscan Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and the garlic is lightly golden. Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Make the Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens to a smooth, creamy consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Combine Everything: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, then gently add the cooked ravioli. Toss everything carefully in the creamy Tuscan sauce to coat evenly and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped basil over the top for a burst of color and aroma. Serve the luxurious Tuscan shrimp ravioli warm, straight from the skillet.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute shrimp with sautéed mushrooms or artichokes.
  • You can use jarred sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for extra richness or dry ones rehydrated in warm water.
  • If you prefer a lighter sauce, reduce the heavy cream and increase chicken broth accordingly.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan offers the best flavor compared to pre-grated varieties.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, use gluten-free ravioli and ensure the chicken broth and seasoning are gluten-free certified.
