Ingredients

Pasta

12 lasagna noodles

Seafood

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lb crab meat

Cheeses

2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Sauces & Creams

4 cups Alfredo sauce
1 cup heavy cream

Seasonings

2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Toppings

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

Prepare the Pasta

Start by heating your oven to 190°C (375°F). Boil the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them gently and set them aside to cool — they’re easier to handle when they’re not steaming hot.

Cook the Seafood

Warm the olive oil in a medium skillet over moderate heat. Add the minced garlic and let it release its aroma — just about a minute.
Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and firm, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in the crab meat along with the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you want a little heat. Cook for another 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture rest.

Make the Cheese Filling

In a bowl, mix together the ricotta, 1 cup of the mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, the heavy cream, and the parsley. Stir until everything is smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Lasagna

Spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Layer on:

Noodles
One-third of the cheese mixture
One-third of the seafood
A drizzle of Alfredo sauce

Repeat this sequence three times, finishing with a final layer of noodles smothered in Alfredo sauce.

Add Toppings & Bake

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top. Scatter the breadcrumbs to give it that irresistible golden crunch.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 10–15 minutes, until the top is beautifully browned and bubbling.

Presentation Tips

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing — it helps the layers settle.
Garnish with extra parsley for a fresh, bright pop of color.
Serve with a crisp side salad or warm garlic bread to balance the richness.
A light sprinkle of lemon zest can bring a subtle brightness if you want a hint of citrus.

Conclusion

This seafood lasagna is the kind of dish that feels luxurious but still brings that home-cooked comfort we all crave. The shrimp and crab tucked between creamy, cheesy layers make every bite feel like a small celebration.
