Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 sheets Lasagna Noodles (Use gluten-free pasta if preferred.)
  • 1 pound Shrimp (Fresh or frozen, thawed.)
  • 1 cup Crab Meat (Substitute with scallops or omit for vegetarian option.)
  • 15 ounces Ricotta Cheese (Cottage cheese can be used for a lighter twist.)
  • 2 cups Alfredo Sauce (Homemade or store-bought.)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced) (Fresh garlic gives the best taste.)
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella (Feel free to swap with provolone or gouda.)
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (Can be substituted with pecorino.)
  • to taste Fresh Parsley (for garnish) (Optional but recommended.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your dish will cook evenly and the cheese will become beautifully bubbly.
  2. In a large pot of salted water, boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them; overcooking will make them too soft to roll. Drain and lay them flat on a clean kitchen towel.
  3. While the noodles are cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. If using frozen shrimp, ensure they are completely thawed before cooking. Remove from heat and gently fold in the crab meat.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp and crab mixture with ricotta cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. This filling should be creamy and slightly chunky from the seafood.
  6. Spread 1 cup of Alfredo sauce evenly at the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. This prevents the noodles from sticking and adds flavor.
  7. Take one lasagna noodle and place about 2-3 tablespoons of the seafood mixture at one end. Roll it up tightly, then place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.
  8. Once all roll-ups are in the dish, pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly across the surface.
  9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the cheese to melt without browning too quickly.
  10. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly. You’ll know it’s ready when the edges are slightly crisped, and the center is hot.
  11. Once out of the oven, let it rest for about 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley. This allows the dish to set slightly, making it easier to serve.

Keywords: Make sure to not overcook your shrimp. They should just be pink and opaque, as they will continue to cook in the oven. For a perfectly melted cheese topping, consider broiling the roll-ups for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking for an extra bubbly and golden finish. Just keep a close eye on them to prevent burning!
