Half a cup of breadcrumbs
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat. Cook the lasagna noodles following the instructions on the box, then drain them and let them cool off.
02 -
Heat up the olive oil over medium heat using a skillet. Toss in the garlic and stir until it smells amazing, roughly 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and firm, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the crab meat, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you’d like some heat, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
03 -
Combine ricotta, one cup of the mozzarella, half a cup of Parmesan, heavy cream, and parsley in a bowl. Stir everything together until smooth and creamy.
04 -
Coat the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish with a thin spread of Alfredo sauce. Add one layer of noodles, then spread a third of the cheese mixture over the top. On top of that, add a third of the seafood blend and drizzle with more Alfredo sauce. Keep layering until you use everything, ending with noodles and Alfredo sauce as the top layer.
05 -
Cover the top layer with the leftover mozzarella and Parmesan, then sprinkle breadcrumbs for a crispy top. Wrap the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Take the foil off and bake for an extra 10-15 minutes until it looks golden and bubbly.
06 -
Allow the lasagna to sit for 10 minutes before dishing it out. Add extra parsley on top to make it look fresh, if you like.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Spread the Alfredo sauce evenly so every bite has flavor.
02 -
Keep an eye on the shrimp as they cook—don’t let them get tough.
