• 2 tbsp all-purpose seafood seasoning (Or preferred seafood seasoning blend; for shrimp)
• 1 cup lump crab meat

Steps

1. 1

   Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of seafood seasoning and mix by hand until the shrimp are evenly coated.

   In a large skillet, melt 1 stick of the garlic and herb butter over medium heat.

4. 4

   Once the butter has melted, add the seasoned shrimp and crab mixture to the skillet.

5. 5

   Cook the seafood for about 3 minutes on each side, turning once, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Transfer the cooked seafood to a plate and set aside.

6. 6

   In a separate pan, melt the remaining stick of garlic and herb butter over medium heat.

7. 7

   Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.

8. 8

   Pour in the heavy cream and stir well to combine it with the garlic butter.

9. 9

   Add the fresh spinach and cook for about 2–3 minutes, stirring, until the spinach has wilted.

10. 10

    Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and mix them into the cream sauce.

11. 11

    Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

12. 12

    While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

13. 13

    Add the lobster ravioli to the boiling water and cook for about 4 minutes, or according to the package directions, until tender. Drain well.

14. 14

    Gently fold the drained ravioli into the creamy Parmesan sauce.

15. 15

    Add the sautéed shrimp and crab to the ravioli and gently mix until the sauce is thick, creamy, and coats the ravioli well.

16. 16

    Taste and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.

17. 17

    Serve immediately. Garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
