Repeat with remaining ravioli and serve immediately. Serve ravioli with your favorite marinara or pasta sauce. *Note: when using wonton wrappers, it is important to keep them in their package or wrapped in plastic until you use them, as they can easily dry out. Stir in salt and peas and remove from heat and reserve to cool before preparing ravioli. Prepare work area equipped with small bowl of water and pastry brush, small bowl of cornstarch, large plate or cutting board dusted with cornstarch, package of wonton wrappers*, and ravioli filling. On a clean surface, line up 3 to 6 wonton wrappers at a time. Place ½ tablespoon of filling in the middle of each wrapper. Then place 3 to 4 pieces of the shrimp on top of the filling. Brush the edges of the wrapper with water. Then place another wrapper on top, lining up the edges. Press edges together with your fingers to completely seal the ravioli. Using a fork, press the tines around the edges of the ravioli to further create a seal. Continue to fill the remaining ravioli.
