Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 pound lobster meat, cut into small pieces
  • 1 package ravioli (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Substitutions:

  • Swap lobster for crab meat for a slightly sweeter flavor.
  • Use gluten-free ravioli if needed.
  • Substitute coconut cream for heavy cream for a dairy-free version.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ravioli

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to package instructions (usually 4–6 minutes). Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Step 3: Cook the Seafood

Add the shrimp and lobster pieces to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the seafood turns opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4: Create the Creamy Tomato Sauce

To the same pan, add crushed tomatoes, heavy cream, dried basil, and chili flakes (if desired). Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 5: Combine and Serve

Return the cooked seafood to the pan, along with the drained ravioli. Gently toss everything to coat in the creamy tomato sauce. Allow to heat through for 2–3 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or grated Parmesan cheese.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use fresh seafood for the best flavor. Frozen can work in a pinch but ensure it’s fully thawed before cooking.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili flakes.
  • For a thicker sauce, simmer the tomato cream mixture a bit longer before adding the ravioli and seafood.
