Season the Shrimp: In a bowl, season the cleaned and deveined shrimp with smoked paprika, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and sazon complete.

Cook the Ravioli: In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Combine Ingredients: Once the sauce has thickened, gently fold in the crab meat, then add the cooked ravioli and shrimp. Toss everything together until well coated.
