Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh or frozen ravioli (12 pieces/6 each) I used Cento brand frozen 4 cheese ravioli
- 12 extra large shrimp - peeled and deveined I used 16-20 count
- 4 ounces sliced white mushrooms
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 12 grape tomatoes sliced half I used tri-color heirloom
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon Italian parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon grated Romano cheese
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Get water ready for ravioli, mine only took 8 minutes to cook so don't start cooking these until the scampi is almost ready.
- Over medium high heat place a large sauté pan, when it gets hot carefully add the olive oil and then the chopped garlic.
- Allow the garlic to sear for about 15 seconds then add in the shrimp and let them cook for 2-3 minutes until they are almost done.
- Remove the shrimp from the pan and add in the mushrooms, sauté the mushrooms for a few minutes then add in the tomatoes and allow them to cook for about 30 seconds.
- *If you are using fresh ravioli this would be the time to add the ravioli to the boiling water
- Add the chicken stock and allow to come back to a low boil, reduce heat .
- Press the butter into the flour getting as much flour pressed in as you can. (this is called a beurre manie) place this into the hot stock and mix together. This will thicken the stock.
- Add the shrimp back in, and finish with the grated Romano cheese and freshly ground black pepper. Turn off the heat and add in chopped parsley
- Drain the Ravioli and place 4-5 ravioli on each plate then top with shrimp and equal amounts of mushrooms, tomatoes and sauce.
- Then sit down to your Restaurant style dinner of Ravioli and Shrimp Scampi!
