15-Minute Cheese Ravioli with Shrimps and Garlic Butter Sauce

This lunch idea comes together quicker than you can peel and de-vein all the shrimps. With just a bag of Italian cheese filled ravioli, a bag of shrimps and a butter garlic sauce that comes together literally in about 5 minutes total. If you already buy peeled and de-veined shrimps, your meal will be ready even quicker.

I purchase this certain kind from Trader Joe’s and usually try to keep a couple bags of this ravioli pasta in my pantry for days when lunch or dinner must happen quick but if you don’t have any on hand, other substitutes for this cheese ravioli pasta can be any other ravioli or any other pasta that you have on hand for a complete downgrade. 🙂 I’m confident that gnocchi and cheese tortellini would work just as great.

If you are not a big seafood or shrimp fan, sauteed mushrooms or chicken of any kind would be a great substitute as well.
