Seafood Lasagna with Shrimp & Crab

A rich, creamy, and decadent twist on classic lasagna—packed with tender shrimp, sweet crab, and a luxurious cheese sauce.

Ingredients:

For the Seafood Filling:

  • 1 lb (450g) medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped

  • 1 lb (450g) lump crab meat, picked over for shells

  • 3 tbsp butter

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ tsp Old Bay seasoning (or paprika + pinch of cayenne)

  • ¼ cup dry white wine (or seafood stock)

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

  • Salt & black pepper to taste

For the Cheese Sauce (Béchamel):

  • 4 tbsp butter

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 3 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for extra richness)

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan

  • ½ tsp nutmeg (optional)

  • Salt & white pepper to taste

For Assembly:

  • 9-12 lasagna noodles (oven-ready or boiled al dente)

  • 2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend (mozzarella, provolone, fontina)

  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated

  • ½ cup ricotta cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)

  • 1 tbsp fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions:

1. Prepare the Seafood Filling:

  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (30 sec).

  • Add shrimp, Old Bay, salt, and pepper. Cook until shrimp turns pink (~2-3 mins).

  • Deglaze with white wine (or stock), simmer 1 min. Stir in crab meat and parsley. Remove from heat.

2. Make the Cheese Sauce (Béchamel):

  • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour to form a roux (1 min).

  • Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Simmer until thickened (~5 mins).

  • Remove from heat, stir in mozzarella, Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper.

3. Assemble the Lasagna:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  • Layer 1: Spread ½ cup cheese sauce on the bottom.

  • Layer 2: Add a layer of noodles (3-4 sheets).

  • Layer 3: Spread ½ seafood mixture, then ½ remaining cheese sauce.

  • Layer 4: Sprinkle 1 cup Italian cheese blend.

  • Repeat layers (noodles, seafood, sauce, cheese).

  • Top with final noodle layer, remaining sauce, Parmesan, and ricotta (if using).

4. Bake & Serve:

  • Cover with foil and bake 30 mins. Uncover, bake 10-15 mins until bubbly and golden.

  • Let rest 10 mins before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs.


Tips:

✅ No-Boil Noodles: If using oven-ready noodles, ensure enough sauce to soften them.
✅ Make Ahead: Assemble 1 day ahead; refrigerate (add 10-15 mins baking time).
✅ Freezer-Friendly: Freeze unbaked lasagna (thaw before baking).

Serve with: Garlic bread, Caesar salad, or roasted asparagus.

Enjoy this luxurious, seafood-packed twist on lasagna! 🦐🦀🧀
