Quick and Delicious Seafood Lasagna Recipe

  • Author: Elizabeth
  • Total Time: 80-90 minutes

Ingredients

• 12 ounces (340g) lasagna noodles
• 1 pound (450g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 pound (450g) scallops, cut in half
• 8 ounces (225g) lump crabmeat, picked over for shells
• 3 tablespoons (45ml) olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons (45g) all-purpose flour
• 2 cups (475ml) milk
• 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon (5ml) dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon (5ml) dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) ground nutmeg
• 1 cup (100g) grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups (200g) shredded mozzarella cheese
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and lay them flat on a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  2. Sauté the Seafood: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and scallops and sauté until they just begin to turn opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the seafood from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Make the Béchamel Sauce: In the same skillet, sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the dried thyme, oregano, nutmeg, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble the Lasagna: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of the béchamel sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Arrange a layer of lasagna noodles over the sauce. Top with half of the sautéed seafood, followed by a layer of the béchamel sauce. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Repeat the layers of noodles, seafood, sauce, and cheese two more times, ending with the remaining cheese.
  5. Bake and Serve: Cover the lasagna with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. Allow the lasagna to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
