Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces lasagna noodles
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 pound scallops
- 0.5 pound lump crab meat
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the shrimp and scallops, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and chopped parsley. Set aside.
To assemble, spread a thin layer of the creamy sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce, then spread one-third of the ricotta mixture on top.
Add a layer of shrimp, scallops, and crab meat, then pour a ladle of the creamy sauce over the seafood.
Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese on top, then repeat the layering process two more times.
Finish with a final layer of noodles, the remaining sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden.
Allow the lasagna to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
