Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 lb sea scallops patted dry
  • 8 oz lump crab meat picked over for shells
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg freshly grated
  • 15 oz whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 12 sheets oven-ready lasagna noodles
  • 16 oz low-moisture mozzarella cheese shredded
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch Baking Dish
  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat shrimp and scallops completely dry and season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tbsp butter. Sear shrimp and scallops for 60-90 seconds per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 5 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes to form a roux. Slowly whisk in the white wine, then gradually add the milk until smooth. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, beaten egg, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Layer with noodles, half the ricotta mixture, half the seafood, and 1/3 of the mozzarella. Spoon over 1/3 of the béchamel. Repeat the layers: noodles, remaining ricotta, remaining seafood, another 1/3 of the mozzarella, and another 1/3 of the béchamel.
  5. Add a final layer of noodles. Top with the remaining béchamel sauce, the rest of the mozzarella, and the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the top is bubbly and golden brown. Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
