# How to Make It:

Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a large baking dish.

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side until opaque. Stir in lemon juice, then remove from heat.

In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk in heavy cream and half of the grated Parmesan. Simmer on low heat until the sauce thickens, then season with salt and black pepper.
04 -
In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese with chopped parsley and half of the remaining Parmesan until smooth.
05 -
Arrange a layer of lasagna noodles at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread a portion of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, top with sautéed shrimp, sprinkle with mozzarella, and pour over some of the cream sauce.
06 -
Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan on top.
07 -
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Allow the lasagna to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
