Ingredients
12 lasagna noodles
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lb crab meat
2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
4 cups Alfredo sauce
1 cup heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, plus extra for garnish (optional)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions, then drain and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until pink and opaque. Stir in the crab meat, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, then cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and chopped parsley until smooth.
- Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce over the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer lasagna noodles over the sauce, then spread one-third of the cheese mixture, one-third of the seafood mixture, and drizzle with more Alfredo sauce.
- Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with a final layer of noodles topped with Alfredo sauce.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over the top, then evenly distribute the breadcrumbs.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired and serve.
Notes
Substitute lobster for crab meat for a more luxurious variation.
Add scallops or cooked salmon for extra seafood flavor.
Mix spinach into the ricotta filling for added nutrition and color.
Increase the red pepper flakes or add Cajun seasoning for extra spice.
For a crispier topping, toss the breadcrumbs with melted butter before sprinkling over the lasagna.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat covered in a 350°F oven or microwave individual portions until heated through.
