- 2 tbsp. Olive oil
- 3 tbsp. butter
- 1/2 c. onion, chopped
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 c. dry white wine
- 2 tbsp. Butter
- 1/2 lemon, squeezed

Instructions
- Fill a large pot with salted water and boil; add the ravioli and cook for 5 minutes. Reserve a cup of the pasta water.
- In a large skillet, turn on medium-high heat. Heat the olive oil and begin to melt the three tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted and the oil and butter begin to bubble, add the diced shallots and cook until translucent. Once the shallots have cooked, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the white wine, lemon juice, and extra 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Once the cream begins to simmer, add the grated parmesan cheese, red crushed pepper flakes, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, and fresh basil.
- Stir to combine and simmer for 2 minutes. Add a little of the pasta water to loosen the sauce, if needed.
- Add the shrimp and ravioli to the pan and fold together with a spatula or flat spoon. Once well combined, cover with a lid and allow to simmer for about 7-10 minutes. Top the dish in the pan with an extra ⅓ cups of grated parmesan cheese and serve.
Notes
If you don’t want to make the sauce, you can use a jar of alfredo sauce instead.
