Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese ravioli according to the package instructions, usually about 4-6 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, drain the ravioli, and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Stir in the diced tomatoes along with their juices and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to reduce slightly. Use a spoon to lightly crush some of the tomatoes for a smoother sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet, then toss in the cooked ravioli. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the ravioli immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and basil if desired.
