Delicious Shrimp Crab Lasagna Recipe for Seafood Lovers

  • Author: lila
  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

This Shrimp Crab Lasagna is a luxurious seafood experience that combines tender pasta, succulent shrimp, and sweet crab in a rich, creamy sauce. Perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in, it’s a dish that brings a taste of the seaside to your home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz Lasagna Noodles (no-boil or regular)
  • 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 8 oz Crab Meat (preferably fresh lump)
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil (for sautéing)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Alfredo Sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tsp Chili Flakes (optional)
  • 15 oz Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese (low-moisture)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated fresh)
  • 1/4 cup Parsley (chopped)
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs (for a crunchy contrast)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your lasagna cooks evenly and achieves that beautiful bubbly top.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned—burnt garlic can impart a bitter flavor.
  3. Add 1 pound of shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside; overcooked shrimp can become rubbery.
  4. Next, gently fold in 8 ounces of fresh lump crab meat and 1/2 cup of heavy cream into the shrimp mixture. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional chili flakes to taste. Stir until everything is well combined and remove from heat.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine 15 ounces of ricotta cheese, 1 cup of Alfredo sauce, and half of the chopped parsley. Mix until smooth, which adds a herby flavor to the creamy layer.
  6. In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the ricotta mixture on the bottom. Then, place a layer of lasagna noodles on top—about 3-4 noodles should fit horizontally.
  7. Add half of the shrimp and crab mixture over the noodles, followed by another layer of the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup of mozzarella cheese and add another layer of noodles.
  8. Repeat the process: noodles, remaining seafood mixture, ricotta mixture, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Top with a final layer of noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, and finish with 1 cup of breadcrumbs and the rest of the mozzarella and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese.
  9. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. This helps the layers meld together and prevents the top from burning.
  10. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the lasagna is bubbling around the edges.
  11. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This resting period allows the layers to set, making it easier to serve.

Keywords: To avoid a soggy lasagna, if using regular lasagna noodles, consider pre-cooking them for about 3-4 minutes before layering. Fresh parsley enhances the overall flavor profile, and you can also mix in fresh basil or chives for a different twist.
