Easy Seafood Lasagna

A creamy and cheesy seafood lasagna layered with shrimp, crab, ricotta, and mozzarella cheese in a rich white sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 pound cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1/2 pound cooked crab meat

Instructions

  1. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions, drain and separate.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and whisk until smooth.
  3. Gradually add milk, whisking continuously until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, garlic, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, and parsley. Stir to combine.
  5. In another bowl, mix chopped shrimp and crab meat.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
  7. Spread 1 cup of the white sauce in the bottom of the pan. Place 3 lasagna noodles side by side over the sauce.
  8. Top noodles with one-third of the ricotta mixture, then one-third of the seafood mixture.
  9. Repeat layering two more times, finishing with remaining sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese on top.
  10. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
  11. Let lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to set.

Notes

Use cooked shrimp and crab meat for convenience. Allowing the lasagna to rest after baking helps it set and makes slicing easier.
