This seafood lasagna with shrimp and crab is a creamy, indulgent take on the classic Italian dish, layered with béchamel, ricotta, and melty cheese for a luxurious comfort meal.

Ingredients

  • 9 lasagna noodles
  • 1/2 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 pound lump crab meat
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk (whole preferred)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook lasagna noodles until al dente, drain, and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until softened.
  4. Stir in flour to form a roux, cooking for 1–2 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir in half of the Parmesan cheese, then remove from heat.
  7. Spread a thin layer of béchamel on the bottom of the prepared dish. Layer noodles, dollops of ricotta, shrimp, crab, béchamel, and mozzarella.
  8. Repeat layers, finishing with béchamel and a generous topping of mozzarella and remaining Parmesan.
  9. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10–15 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
  10. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Use cooked shrimp or briefly sauté raw shrimp before adding.
  • Substitute imitation crab if fresh isn’t available.
  • Swap some milk with heavy cream for a richer sauce.
  • For added flavor or heat, include cayenne or red pepper flakes.
