Ingredients
12 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
1 1/2 pounds raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Cook lasagna noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and lay flat on parchment paper or drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until pink. Set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons butter and pour in heavy cream. Whisk continuously and add Parmesan cheese. Simmer until slightly thickened. Season as needed.
4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
5. Add a layer of noodles, spread some ricotta, add shrimp, drizzle with sauce, and sprinkle mozzarella. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing with mozzarella and parsley on top.
6. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 10–15 minutes more until bubbly and golden.
7. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, add a splash of white wine to the sauce before simmering.
Let the lasagna rest before slicing to ensure clean, firm layers.
Fresh herbs like basil or thyme can be sprinkled for added aroma and color.
