Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes).
Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes or until just opaque. Remove from heat and stir in the crab meat, parsley, and lemon zest. Set aside.
Spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer 3-4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by a third of the seafood mixture, a layer of ricotta cheese, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Repeat this process for two more layers.
Finish the top layer with the remaining béchamel sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Cover the lasagna with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.
