Ingredients

Scale

Before we dive into the cooking, let’s gather our ingredients. I love recipes that don’t require a trip to the specialty store, and this one is no different. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 9 lasagna noodles (you can use no-boil for convenience)
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup crab meat, lump or claw meat is perfect
  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Feel free to make substitutions based on what you have on hand! For instance, if you can’t find crab meat, you can double the shrimp or even add some scallops for an extra seafood kick.

Instructions

Now, let’s get cooking! Grab your apron and let’s turn your kitchen into a seafood haven.

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your lasagna cooks evenly and gets that beautiful golden brown on top.
  2. In a large pot, cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. If you’re using no-boil noodles, you can skip this step. Just remember to add enough sauce when layering.
  3. While the noodles are cooking, sauté the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink. Add the crab meat, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, stirring gently to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with half of the mozzarella and half of the Parmesan. This creamy mixture is going to be the heart of your lasagna.
  5. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. This will prevent the noodles from sticking.
  6. Layer 3 noodles over the sauce, followed by half of the ricotta mixture, half of the seafood mixture, and a third of the remaining marinara sauce. Repeat the layers, finishing with the last 3 noodles on top.
  7. Spread the remaining marinara sauce over the top layer of noodles and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it hold its shape, making for beautiful servings!

My secret? I always keep a little extra marinara on the side for those who love to drizzle more sauce on their plate.
