This Creamy Shrimp Scampi dish is made with the delicious flavors of lemon, garlic, basil, and plump shrimp served cheese ravioli instead of spaghetti or linguine noodles. It is absolutely delicious and amazing.
I am a serious pasta lover. Pasta can get me in a lot of trouble. But pasta is so worth the carbs and the inches. One of my favorite pasta dishes is Shrimp Scampi. There’s something about the butter-and the garlic-and the shrimp-and the linguine that makes my spine tingle. I love shrimp scampi! This go-round, I wanted to try something different: make a creamy shrimp scampi sauce and serve with ravioli stuffed with cheese.
Although it looks like a “fancy” dish, this Creamy Shrimp Scampi Ravioli is a perfect option for a weeknight or date night dinner. All you have to do is whip up a quick house salad and serve with some crusty bread, and you are all set.
Cooking with white wine
Yes, this recipe requires that you cook with white wine. I know this may seem intimidating to some people, but let me assure you that it really isn’t all that bad. I don’t drink wine that often unless it’s Seven Daughters Moscato and not now because I’m pregnant. But I do always have a bottle of white and red wine available in the same cabinet where I keep my bottles of vinegar and oil. That’s because I know I am going to need it at some point. I tend to buy a pretty cheap bottle of both if I need to, but you definitely can pay for a more expensive bottle of white wine that you can also drink at the same time while cooking.
I absolutely love this creamy shrimp scampi recipe. I couldn’t keep my fork out of the pan. The sauce is so creamy and cheesy and filled with amazing flavors from the garlic, lemon, and basil, which is my favorite part. This recipe puts me in the mind of my Seafood Gnocchi with White Wine dish that is also one sexy dish to enjoy. In fact, here are a few more recipes that you will enjoy if this dish has everything you could ever want!
