Phenomenal but easy dinner to impress someone special in your life. Four cheese ravioli cooked in garlic cream sauce with shrimp, scallops, spinach and shiitake mushrooms.
If you’re still trying to decide on a special dinner to cook this holiday weekend, look no further. I have a fabulous dish here that is so delicious, so comforting and so easy!
Beautiful ravioli dish to impress that special person in your life. It’s like love on a plate. You know that it’s very easy to show love with food. Men or women, doesn’t matter, we all love to eat good food. And, this dish is easy enough to prepare, in case you like to eat more than you like to cook. It’s comfort and love on a plate, so open a bottle of white wine and enjoy your dinner!
This dish was inspired by a talented chef that I’ve been following for a while. Have you met Chef Dennis yet? If you haven’t, go immediately! His dishes make me drool daily and I absolutely love following him.
A few days ago, Chef Dennis shared this deliciousness on Instagram and I immediately got a craving for some shrimp and ravioli. The very next day, I ran out for some fresh shrimp and scallops (because I have such a weakness for scallops that I had to add them) and made this fabulous dish for dinner. I modified the dish to my own taste but the inspiration was undeniable. I just hope that I inspired your dinner as well!

David @ Spiced
Lyuba! Thank you so much for including a link back to my Cajun Shrimp. How did you know that garlic cream sauce is pretty much my favorite sauce of all time? I’m totally going to have to make this…and soon! Pinned!
lyuba
Absolutely!
I just knew you’ll love it!
Thank you so much, David!
Marisa Franca @ All Our Way
This looks marvelous as well as the photos. I love cream sauce but only make it for special occasions — your recipe is definitely pinned for a special occasion. Thank you for another wonderful recipe and for the inspiration.

I made this over the weekend and it was amazing! My husband said it was one of the best things I have ever made – and I cook a LOT! Thank you for sharing!
Lyuba
Thank you, Meggan! That’s great to hear 🙂
Sarah
Do you think replacing Ravioli with any type of pasta would work? I have a few that don’t like ravioli. How would I make this work with 2Ibs of shrimp? There’s alot of us in our house
lyuba
Hello, Sarah! It would absolutely work! You can either make this a shrimp dish without other seafood, or you can just make majority of protein a shrimp. You can also double or triple the recipe per your need. I would just adjust pasta amount accordingly since you’re substituting it instead of ravioli.
Let me know if you need any more help!

I made this and while my Husband and I liked the flavor the consistency of the sauce was like soup( too liquid like) I followed the recipe but perhaps I could have put some cornstarch to thicken it a bit.
lyuba
Hi Deanna!
The sauce is actually not supposed to be thick here. If you like a thick sauce, then I can recommend adding a couple of table spoons of flour. (Sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of flour over spinach and mushrooms, mix, and then start pouring broth and then heavy cream while slowly stirring.)
I’m glad you liked the flavors!
Marnie
Made this tonight it was awesome! The flavors were great! A nice creaminess with subtle mushroom and spinach flavors, garlicky but not fishy. We like thicker sauces so I thickened it with some cornstarch. I see where you said it could be thickened with flour at the end of step 2. I will try that next time for sure.
Lyuba
Thank you, Marnie! I’m glad you and your family enjoyed it 🙂
maria
can you omit the Worcestershire sauce? Can I use any kind of mushroom without overpowering the remaining ingredients?
lyuba
Hi Maria!
You can omit the Worcestershire sauce if you just don’t like it but it does add a nice flavor to the sauce. As for mushrooms, baby bella/crimini will have a milder flavor and if you want to go stronger flavor, go with shiitake or porchini.
I hope you enjoy it!
maria
I did enjoy it!!!!!
I omitted the seafood and served it over shrimp and roasted garlic ravioli. I kept in the Worcestershire sauce and used regular button mushrooms.
AMAZING flavor
Lyuba
Sounds amazing! I’m glad you like it, Maria!
michelle hankton

lyuba
I really hope you enjoyed it, Michelle!! 😀
Jen
I’m not a measurement kind of cook. So I randomly added everything and the only change I made was beef stock instead of vegetable. Also a “5” cheese ravioli! My husband talked about it for days. Thank you for the idea!

SS
I would also like to know how many people this serves…
Susan Krassensky
Sounds delightful! As I have the (frozen shrimp) ingredients on hand so I’ll try this today. Likely it will rate all five stars.
Shirley king
I am lactose intolerant so could I use lactose free whole milk instead of the cream and would I need to add anything with it! Thank you
lyuba
Hi Shirley!
Yes, you can use lactose free whole milk. Milk is just not quite as thick as heavy cream so you can add a little bit of flour or cornstarch to thicken it. If you will use flour, just add a little to veggies, stir it well and add the broth and then milk. If using cornstarch, mix some with some cold milk and stir it in after you’ve added broth and milk to the pan.
I hope this helps!
