Shrimp and Lobster Ravioli and Valentines


Valentines has always been special for me as a day to celebrate those that are special to you and to tell them so!  When we were in Puerto Rico, Valentines is most special and recognized as a church holiday 









Strawberry and cottage cheese filled Crepes are a delicious way to start the day!


















The after school snack was cherries filled dumplings, topped with a strawberry sauce! 


A recipe that I have wanted to try for a while is Lobster and Shrimp Ravioli.   Lobster tail was steamed first. 




The filling consisted of lobster meat, shrimp, garlic, shallots, parsley, ricotta cheese, but one could use other seafood. 








Ravioli Dough


  • 2 c flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 3/4 -1 c water 



Mix dry ingredient, mix eggs, oil and about 3/4 c water and add to the dry ingredients, knead until it comes together. 

The dough was very soft and difficult to pinch tightly. Since I didn't want to loose any of the filling, I did steam the dumplings.







The dough was cut into square pieces so as to form a heart shape!
























Limoncello Cream Sauce

Simmer together in saucepan
  • 3-4 T limoncello
  • juice of one lemon and rind
Whisk in
  • 1/3 c butter
Add in until the sauce is thicken
  • whipping cream
 






To assemble, cook the ravioli, spoon on th4e sauce, garnish with chopped parsley
