Description
Prepare to embark on a culinary adventure with our mouthwatering Seafood Lasagna with Shrimp & Crab. This exquisite dish takes the classic lasagna and elevates it with the delicate flavors of succulent shrimp and luscious crab meat.
Ingredients
- 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp
- 1/2 pound lump crab meat
- 3 cup Alfredo sauce
- 2 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup chopped spinach (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Begin by cooking the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. If using oven-ready noodles, you can skip this step. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.
2. In a skillet, melt the butter (or heat the olive oil) over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, allowing the aroma to bloom. Then, add the shrimp and cook just until they turn pink and opaque. Gently fold in the crab meat, being careful not to break it up too much.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, half the mozzarella cheese, half the Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix these ingredients until well-incorporated.
4. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Arrange a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by the ricotta cheese mixture, the seafood mixture, and more Alfredo sauce. Repeat these layers, finishing with the sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
5. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and lightly golden.
6. Allow the Seafood Lasagna with Shrimp & Crab to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
To ensure your Seafood Lasagna with Shrimp & Crab turns out beautifully, pay close attention to layering techniques, adjust seasoning to suit your taste preferences, avoid overcooking seafood, and let the lasagna rest after baking.
