A creamy, flavorful lasagna featuring tender shrimp, ricotta cheese, and a rich cream sauce, topped with mozzarella and parmesan for a decadent, seafood twist on a classic lasagna.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • Main Ingredients:
  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth, clam juice, or water
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 1 large egg
  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 lbs cooked shrimp, tails removed and cut into large chunks
  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Prepare the Lasagna Noodles: Cook the lasagna noodles in a pot of salted, boiling water according to package instructions. Drain and rinse them in cold water to stop the cooking process.
  3. Make the Cream Sauce: In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly toasted. Stir in flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is golden. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth (or clam juice, water, or broth), followed by the whole milk. Continue whisking to create a smooth cream sauce. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until it comes to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 1 minute longer, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Assemble the Lasagna: In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, dried basil, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add the thickened cream sauce to the ricotta mixture and stir to combine. Layer a small amount of the sauce mixture at the bottom of a greased baking dish. Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top. Add a layer of the shrimp mixture (shrimp, mozzarella, and the ricotta-cream sauce), and repeat the layering process until all the ingredients are used. Finish with a layer of shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer more spice, add some red pepper flakes to the cream sauce or sprinkle on top before baking.
  • For extra flavor, try sautéing the shrimp with a bit of garlic and lemon juice before adding them to the lasagna layers.
  • This recipe can be made ahead of time, covered, and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from the fridge.
