# Steps:
01 -
Turn your oven on to 375°F (190°C). Boil the lasagna noodles using the package directions, then drain and leave them somewhere to cool off.
02 -
Using medium heat, warm up olive oil in a large pan. Toss in the garlic and stir it around for about a minute. Drop in the shrimp—it’s done when they've turned pink and no longer see-through, after 3-4 minutes. Mix in the crab along with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes if you’ve got them. Cook for 2-3 minutes more and take it off the heat.
03 -
Grab a mixing bowl and combine the ricotta, half the Parmesan, one cup of the mozzarella, parsley, and the heavy cream. Stir until it’s all smooth and blended.
04 -
Smear some Alfredo sauce on the 9x13 pan to stop sticking. Place a layer of noodles down, then spread across a portion of the cheese mixture. Add some seafood on top of that, and drizzle more sauce before starting the next layer. Repeat until you’ve got three layers, ending with noodles and Alfredo sauce.
05 -
Sprinkle on the Parmesan, the rest of the mozzarella, and breadcrumbs. Cover it loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes. After that, remove the foil and let it bake another 10-15 minutes till it’s bubbling and golden brown.
06 -
Once out of the oven, give the lasagna 10 minutes to rest. If you’re feeling fancy, decorate with a sprinkle of parsley before serving.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
Spread Alfredo sauce well to make sure every bite has balanced flavors.
02 -
Don’t let shrimp overcook—they should be tender, not rubbery.
