A creamy, cheesy, ocean-inspired twist on classic lasagna — packed with juicy shrimp, sweet crab, and luscious white sauce! 🤤
Ingredients:
* 9 lasagna noodles (cooked and drained)
* 1 lb shrimp (peeled, deveined, cooked)
* 8 oz crab meat (real or imitation)
* 2 tbsp butter
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
* 2 cups whole milk
* 1/2 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
* 1 tsp Italian seasoning
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/2 tsp pepper
* 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
* 1 cup ricotta or cottage cheese
* Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute. Stir in flour to make a roux.
3. Slowly whisk in milk and cream, then add Parmesan, Old Bay, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until thick and creamy.
4. Stir in the cooked shrimp and crab meat. Simmer for 2–3 minutes and remove from heat.
5. In a 9×13 baking dish, spread a spoonful of sauce. Layer noodles → ricotta → seafood sauce → mozzarella. Repeat layers, ending with mozzarella on top.
6. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
7. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
Pro Tip:
For a citrusy zing, add a bit of lemon zest to the sauce — it really brightens up the seafood flavors!
