Description
A delicious and creamy lasagna featuring shrimp cooked in garlic butter and layered with rich cheeses.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Boil a pot of salted water and cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Toss in the shrimp, seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook until shrimp are opaque, around 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in lemon zest.
- Pour heavy cream into the skillet with shrimp and garlic, allowing it to simmer. Once warmed, stir in ricotta cheese until smooth. Adjust seasoning as desired.
- In a baking dish, place a layer of cooked noodles followed by a layer of the shrimp and cream sauce, then sprinkle some mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mozzarella on top.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Allow the lasagna to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
- Feel free to substitute shrimp with other seafood or chicken if desired.
- Letting the lasagna sit for a few minutes before serving helps it set up better.
