Ingredients

• 9 lasagna noodles, cooked
• 1 lb shrimp, peeled & deveined
• 1 cup lump crab meat
• 2 cups Alfredo sauce
• 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Fresh seafood is best, but thawed frozen shrimp and crab also work. For extra richness, use homemade Alfredo sauce.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add shrimp, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook just until pink. Remove from heat and stir in crab meat.
3. Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Place 3 noodles on top.
4. Layer with half of the shrimp-crab mixture, 1/3 of the ricotta, 1/3 of the mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Drizzle with Alfredo sauce.
5. Repeat layers (noodles, seafood, cheeses, sauce). Top with remaining noodles, Alfredo, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
6. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, until golden and bubbling.
7. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Storage & Make-Ahead

• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freeze unbaked lasagna (tightly wrapped) for up to 1 month. Bake directly from frozen, adding 20–25 minutes to cook time.
• Reheat baked portions in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warmed through.

Why This Recipe Works

• Seafood pairing: Shrimp and crab balance sweet, delicate flavors with richness.
• Alfredo base: Creamy sauce keeps lasagna moist and luxurious.
• Three cheeses: Mozzarella for melt, Parmesan for depth, and ricotta for creaminess.
• Classic layers: Structured like lasagna, but with a coastal twist.

Expert Tips

• Do not overcook shrimp—they will continue cooking in the oven.
• Use no-boil noodles for convenience, but add extra Alfredo sauce to prevent dryness.
• For a lighter version, substitute part of the Alfredo sauce with milk or broth.
• Pair with a crisp green salad and garlic bread for a complete meal.
