Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Lasagna noodles
- 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 lb Scallops
- 1 lb Lump crab meat
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 cups Ricotta cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside on a flat surface to avoid sticking.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shrimp and scallops and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until just opaque. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add lump crab meat and sauté gently for 2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and lemon juice. Remove from skillet and set aside.
To make the béchamel sauce, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Slowly whisk in milk and heavy cream, making sure there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture begins to thicken, about 4-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 cup of Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and parsley.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top.
Spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by 1/3 of the seafood mixture (shrimp, scallops, and crab), and 1/3 of the béchamel sauce. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with a layer of béchamel sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Allow the lasagna to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra parsley for garnish if desired.
