Notes
Use lobster or scallops instead of shrimp for a luxurious twist.
Add sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra veggies.
Try different ravioli fillings like mushroom or spinach-ricotta for variety.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or broth.
