"Who can resist the combination of oakgrilled shrimp with
tender, lobster-filled ravioli? You can bet I’ll finish this dish."
Wine Pairing
KENWOOD SONOMA CHARDONNAY
Aromas of green apples and Asian pears
followed by notes of tropical fruit and
French oak, lush and viscous mouth feel
with a lingering, slightly crisp finish.

CHEF MIKE’S TIPS:
- In the soup aisle of you supermarket, there is a product
by the name of “Better Than Bouillon.” I used this
product to shorten the preparation time.
- Also in your supermarket, in the refrigerated fresh
pasta case, you will find lobster ravioli. If you have
trouble finding this item, check with a specialty food
store.
- In the frozen food section, you will find shelled
edamame (soy beans).
