Ingredients

Scale

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 (8-ounce) bottle clam juice

3 cups whole milk

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 pound dried lasagna noodles

Olive oil for coating noodles

1/2 bunch fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 medium lemon, juiced

4 cloves garlic, chopped

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 pound tiny raw peeled and cleaned shrimp

1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided plus more for pasta water

3 cups part-skim ricotta cheese

1 1/2 ounces Parmesan cheese, finely grated

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more as needed

8 ounces lump crab meat

8 ounces cooked and chopped lobster meat

1 pound low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

1-Getting started with seafood lasagna: is simple and fun, especially when you follow these clear steps to create a creamy, layered delight. First, preheat your oven to 350Β°F and gather your ingredients to make the process smooth. This guide uses fresh herbs and creamy cheese to bring out the best in your seafood, turning it into a family favorite in just over an hour.

2-Begin by making the cream sauce: melt the unsalted butter in a pan, whisk in the flour until it’s lightly toasted, then gradually add the clam juice and whole milk. Season it with 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, bring to a boil, and simmer until thickened. Next, cook the lasagna noodles al dente in salted boiling water, rinse them under cool water, coat with olive oil, and lay them flat on a baking sheet.

3-Prepping and Assembling: Now, prepare the seafood by chopping the fresh parsley and garlic, then juicing the lemon. SautΓ© the garlic in unsalted butter until golden, add the white wine to reduce, then cook the shrimp until pink and stir in the parsley, lemon juice, and salt to taste. In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the grated Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a bit of the divided kosher salt.

4-For assembly: spread 1/2 cup of the cream sauce in a baking dish, layer one-third of the noodles, half the ricotta mixture, half the shrimp mixture, half the lobster meat, half the crab meat, and 1 cup mozzarella. Repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining noodles, cream sauce, and mozzarella. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake 20-25 minutes more until golden. Let it rest for 15 minutes before serving, and garnish with parsley for a fresh touch.

Notes

πŸ§€ A creamy white sauce complements seafood better than traditional red sauce.
🦞 Shellfish like shrimp, crab, and lobster hold up well during baking without overpowering the dish.
πŸ§€ Using a mix of Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, Mozzarella, Cheddar, and Fontina cheeses pairs well with seafood.
