Shrimp:
In a large non-stick sauté pan, melt butter with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; season with salt and pepper. Sauté about 3 minutes, just until shrimp is opaque. Transfer to a platter; keep warm.
Sauce:
In the same pan, melt butter with olive oil. Add shallots and asparagus; sauté for 2 minutes over medium-high heat; add garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté 30 seconds. Add ravioli, milk, and half of the chicken broth.
In a small bowl, stir remaining chicken broth with cornstarch; add to skillet along with basil, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; immediately reduce to a simmer; simmer just until ravioli is al dente (1 minute less than package directions), being careful not to overcook. Turn heat to low.
Push ravioli to one side of the pan; add cream cheese to the other side; whisk until mostly melted, followed by Parmesan cheese; stir in peas, lemon juice and shrimp. Cook until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if needed. Add more lemon juice and Parmesan cheese to taste, if desired.
Serve, garnished with fresh parsley.
6 servings.
*4 oz. is luxuriously creamy, but 2 oz. is still delicious, just not quite as creamy.
