Notes
Use your favorite ravioli filling, whether it’s cheese, spinach, or another option. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp; they should be tender and juicy. Feel free to taste and adjust the sauce’s seasonings according to your preferences. Fresh basil adds a wonderful aroma; however, you can substitute it with dried basil if needed. Serve this dish with crusty bread and a side salad and enjoy!
