Peel and brunoise the butternut squash.

Saute the butternut squash and a little butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until just cooked. Remove from heat.

Combine mushrooms, shrimp, spinach, and squash in a large bowl. Gently mix to combine.

Whisk together eggs and water to make an egg wash.

Lay out pieces of wonton wrappers. Paint with egg wash. Put a scant tablespoon of the filling mixture on each. Top with another piece of wonton wrapper. Crimp and cut.

DO AHEAD: Can be made to this point. Store in the refrigerator.

Steam or boil ravioli until pasta is cooked and tender.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and cook it slowly over medium heat to brown it. Add sage leaves and cook a bit more. Top the ravioli with the sage brown butter, baby shrimp (if using), and serve.
