Shrimp lasagna with white sauce and cheese is a creamy and comforting seafood twist on the Italian classic. Layers of tender shrimp, béchamel-style white sauce, lasagna noodles, and rich cheeses make this dish indulgent and perfect for special dinners or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning or 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 9 lasagna noodles (regular or no-boil)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions if not using no-boil noodles. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic and onion until soft. Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes until pink. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Remove from heat.
  3. In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour to form a roux. Slowly add milk and cream while whisking until thickened. Stir in Parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
  4. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese with the egg and a pinch of salt.
  5. Spread a layer of white sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer with noodles, ricotta mixture, shrimp, mozzarella, and more white sauce. Repeat layers, ending with sauce and cheese on top.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10–15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  7. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Add cooked spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for extra vegetables.
  • Mix in crab or scallops for more seafood flavor.
  • Use cottage cheese instead of ricotta if preferred.
  • Fontina, provolone, or Gruyère can replace mozzarella for variety.
  • Best served fresh—freezing may affect shrimp texture.
