Indulging in the rich flavors of the sea, I love this creamy garlic sauce Seafood Ravioli Delight dish. It’s filled with a delicious mix of shrimp, scallops, crab, spinach, and mushrooms, making it a luxurious yet surprisingly easy meal that fits perfectly for a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

20 pieces fresh ravioli

1 cup cooked seafood mix (shrimp, scallops, crab)

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 cup sliced mushrooms

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 shallot, finely chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil for garnish

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

I heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add garlic and shallot, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Next, I add the sliced mushrooms and cook them until softened, about 4-5 minutes.

I stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, roughly 2 minutes.

Then, I gently fold in the cooked seafood mix, stirring carefully to combine without breaking the seafood apart.

I pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Adding the fresh ravioli to the skillet, I stir gently to coat them in the creamy sauce, cooking for 4-5 minutes until the ravioli are heated through.

Finally, I sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the dish and let it melt slightly before serving. I garnish with fresh basil leaves for a fragrant and fresh finish.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves 4 people comfortably. Prep time is about 10 minutes, with cooking taking around 20 minutes, making the total time roughly 30 minutes from start to finish.

Variations

I like to experiment by swapping the seafood mix with lobster or crab exclusively for a more indulgent version. For a lighter twist, I sometimes use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes also gives a nice subtle heat if I’m in the mood for some spice. Spinach can be replaced with kale or arugula depending on preference, and I occasionally swap mushrooms for sun-dried tomatoes for a deeper flavor.

Storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, I gently warm the ravioli in a skillet over low heat with a splash of cream or water to prevent the sauce from drying out. Microwaving works too, but I prefer stovetop reheating for better texture and flavor retention.

FAQs

What type of ravioli works best for this recipe?

I find fresh seafood or cheese ravioli work best, as they complement the creamy sauce and seafood flavors beautifully.

Can I use frozen seafood instead of cooked seafood?

Yes, but I recommend thawing and cooking the seafood beforehand to avoid excess moisture and ensure even cooking.

Is there a dairy-free alternative for the cream?

You can substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or cashew cream for a dairy-free version, though the flavor will be slightly different.

Can this recipe be made ahead of time?

You can prepare the sauce and seafood mix in advance, but I prefer cooking the ravioli fresh to avoid it becoming mushy.

How do I make this recipe vegetarian?

Simply omit the seafood and increase the amount of mushrooms and spinach. Adding some toasted pine nuts or artichokes can add extra texture and flavor.

Conclusion

This Seafood Ravioli Delight is one of my favorite meals when I want to impress without stress. The combination of creamy garlic sauce, fresh seafood, and tender ravioli makes every bite memorable. Whether it’s a special occasion or a cozy night in, this dish always delivers satisfaction.
