Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Set to 375°F (190°C).
-
Cook Shrimp: In a skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until pink (about 3–4 minutes). Stir in chopped parsley and remove from heat.
-
Make Ricotta Mixture: In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with half the Parmesan and season lightly with salt and pepper.
-
Assemble Lasagna:
-
Spread a spoonful of the shrimp and butter mixture on the bottom of a baking dish.
-
Add a layer of noodles, spread ricotta mixture, then a layer of shrimp.
-
Repeat layers, ending with noodles topped with mozzarella and remaining Parmesan.
-
-
Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
-
Cool & Serve: Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Be sure to drain off excess shrimp liquid to avoid a watery lasagna.
Letting the lasagna rest before slicing helps maintain clean layers.
Fresh parsley or lemon zest can be sprinkled on top for a bright finish.
