Creamy Garlic Shrimp Lasagna 🍤🧄🧀
A rich and comforting twist on classic lasagna! Tender shrimp are sautéed with garlic and folded into a creamy, cheesy sauce, then layered with lasagna noodles and mozzarella for a deliciously indulgent seafood dinner.
Ingredients
For the Shrimp
1 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp paprika
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
For the Creamy Sauce
4 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ tsp Italian seasoning
¼ tsp black pepper
Salt to taste
For the Lasagna
12 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package directions
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Optional: ½ cup shredded provolone or Monterey Jack
Instructions
1. Cook the shrimp: Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, just until the shrimp are cooked through. Remove from the heat and set aside.
2. Make the creamy garlic sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
3. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
4. Cook for 4–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens. Stir in Parmesan, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt to taste.
5. Combine the shrimp and sauce: Stir the cooked shrimp into about half of the creamy sauce. Reserve the remaining sauce for layering and topping.
6. Assemble: Spread a thin layer of creamy sauce in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Add a layer of lasagna noodles, followed by some shrimp mixture, small spoonfuls of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
7. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with noodles, the remaining creamy sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
8. Bake: Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
9. Let the lasagna rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
🍽️ Serving Tip
Serve with garlic bread and a fresh green salad. The creamy garlic sauce is perfect for soaking up with warm, crusty bread!
