Many movies and television serials depict Ravanan as a great devotee of Shiva. But as far as I know, as per Valmiki Ramayana, Ravan obtained boons from Brahma. Is it mentioned in Valmiki Ramayana whether Ravana was a devotee of Shiva and whether he obtained any boons from Shiva?

The Puranas themselves say that Ravana was a devotee of Shiva, like many others. He is also a devotee of Shiva, he shook the Kailasa mountain, etc.
