Creamy Seafood Lasagna with Shrimp & Crab is a decadent and elegant twist on traditional lasagna, layered with a luscious white sauce, sweet seafood, and melty cheeses. It’s a comforting, crowd-pleasing dish perfect for special occasions or cozy family dinners.

Ingredients

  • 9 lasagna noodles (oven-ready or cooked)
  • 1 lb cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 8 oz lump crab meat
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion or shallot, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or basil, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning or Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. If using regular noodles, cook according to package directions and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant.
  4. Whisk in flour to make a roux, cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in milk or half-and-half.
  5. Simmer until slightly thickened, then stir in parmesan, salt, pepper, and optional seasoning.
  6. Fold in chopped shrimp and crab, then remove from heat.
  7. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with chopped herbs and a pinch of salt.
  8. Layer in baking dish: spread a bit of sauce, then noodles, ricotta mixture, seafood sauce, mozzarella. Repeat layers and finish with mozzarella on top.
  9. Cover with foil and bake for 30–35 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  10. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Add scallops or lobster for an extra-luxurious twist.
  • Spinach-ricotta layer adds a veggie boost.
  • Use seafood broth in the sauce for richer flavor.
  • Let lasagna rest before cutting to avoid watery layers.
  • Freezes well—wrap portions tightly before freezing.
