Description
A delicious seafood lasagna recipe featuring shrimp and crab, perfect for seafood lovers.
Ingredients
- 12 lasagna noodles
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup lump crab meat
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Gently fold in the lump crab meat, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
- Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the seafood mixture, and a third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers: noodles, ricotta, seafood, and a layer of marinara sauce. Top with the remaining noodles, marinara sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the seafood mixture.
- Substitute the shrimp and crab with other seafood like scallops or lobster for a different flavor profile.
