# Ingredients:
→ Pasta
01 – 12 lasagna noodles
→ Seafood
02 – 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
03 – 1 lb crab meat
→ Cheeses
04 – 2 cups ricotta cheese
05 – 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
06 – 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
→ Sauces and Creams
07 – 4 cups Alfredo sauce
08 – 1 cup heavy cream
→ Seasonings
09 – 2 cloves garlic, minced
10 – 2 tbsp olive oil
11 – 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
12 – 1 tsp salt
13 – 1 tsp black pepper
14 – 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
→ Toppings
15 – 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
# Steps:
01 – Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
02 – Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add crab meat, season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 – In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and chopped parsley until well combined.
04 – Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add a layer of lasagna noodles, then spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture over the noodles. Add 1/3 of the seafood mixture on top and drizzle with Alfredo sauce. Repeat this layering process two more times, finishing with noodles and Alfredo sauce on top.
05 – Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top layer. Add breadcrumbs for a crunchy texture. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
06 – Let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
# Tips:
01 – Ensure the Alfredo sauce is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
02 – Do not overcook shrimp; they should remain tender and juicy.
