This seafood lasagna combines creamy layers of shrimp, crab meat, ricotta, and Alfredo sauce with soft lasagna noodles for a comforting and elegant dish perfect for dinner parties.

Ingredients

  • Lasagna noodles
  • Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped into bite-sized pieces)
  • Crab meat (fresh lump or imitation)
  • Ricotta cheese
  • Alfredo sauce
  • Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Garlic (freshly minced)
  • Italian seasoning
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Boil the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and cook the shrimp until pink and opaque (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in the crab meat and cook for another minute. Remove from heat.
  5. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Add a layer of cooked noodles, followed by the ricotta mixture, seafood, shredded mozzarella, and another layer of Alfredo sauce. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
