Asian Fry and Shrimp Sauce

3 And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God.

5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,

6 who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. - 2 Corinthians 3:3-6

Lobster Ravioli with White Wine Shallot Lemon Cream

By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host.  - Psalm 33:6

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! 

13 The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man; 

14 from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, 

15 he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds. 

16 The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength. 

17 The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue. 

18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, 

19 that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine. 

20 Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.  - Psalm 33:12-20

1 Shallots, diced

1 t Parsley

Lobster ravioli ( I got mine at Trader Joe's, Costco also has them) cook according to directions, set aside 

* don't overcook, ravioli will pop and the filling will come out

To make sauce, melt butter on medium heat, add shallots and garlic, sauté. After 2 minutes add the wine and cook 2 minutes. Now add the lemon juice, creams, cheese, the mascarpone, sugar and parsley.

The sugar is just to balance the flavor. 

Sauce is not sweet.

Spoon over ravioli and enjoy!
