Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ravioli (If Making From Scratch)
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.
Make a well in the center and add eggs, olive oil, and water (if needed).
Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough into thin sheets.
Place small dollops of filling on one sheet, cover with another sheet, press around the edges, and cut into ravioli shapes.
Boil ravioli in salted water for 3–4 minutes until they float.
If using store-bought ravioli, boil according to package instructions.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Shrimp Sauce
Cook the Shrimp: Heat butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add shrimp, season with salt, black pepper, and red
pepper flakes, and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink. Remove and set aside.
