Ingredients

9 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained

1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 lb crab meat or imitation crab

2 tbsp butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup ricotta cheese

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp chopped parsley

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Sauté seafood: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until just pink. Stir in crab meat and remove from heat.

Make the sauce: In the same pan, whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly add milk and cream, whisking constantly until smooth. Simmer until thickened.

Flavor the sauce: Stir in lemon juice, half of the mozzarella, and all of the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble: In a greased baking dish, layer noodles, spoonfuls of ricotta, seafood mixture, and white sauce. Repeat for 2–3 layers, ending with sauce and remaining mozzarella on top.

Bake: Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.

Rest and serve: Let rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Flavor Boost: Add a splash of dry white wine or a pinch of Old Bay seasoning to the sauce for extra seafood depth.

Seafood Substitutions: Swap in scallops or firm white fish chunks for variety.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently.

Make Ahead: Assemble ahead of time and refrigerate (uncooked) for up to 24 hours before baking.
