Method
 

Instructions
  1. Rinse the 1 pound shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the shrimp, then sprinkle with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are opaque and just cooked through. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour over the melted butter and cook 30 seconds, whisking constantly, until the flour is lightly browned and aromatic.
  3. Slowly whisk in 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth, a few tablespoons at a time, then whisk in 1 cup nonfat milk the same way, scraping the bottom of the pan and breaking up any lumps. Stir in 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil.
  4. Add 1 package store-bought ravioli to the simmering sauce in a single layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the ravioli are al dente according to the package instructions. Reduce the heat to low.
  5. Stir in ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (or ¾ cup shredded), ¾ cup thawed frozen green peas, and the reserved shrimp. Stir just until everything is warmed through, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  6. Serve immediately, sprinkled with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or basil.

Notes

The salt level can vary based upon the saltiness of your particular Parmesan cheese and chicken stock. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
To Store. This recipe is best enjoyed the day it is made but can last up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
To Reheat. Gently warm in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of chicken stock or milk to keep the pasta from drying out and to rehydrate the sauce.
