Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • 4 green onions finely chopped
  • 4 Cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ½ Cups chicken broth
  • ¾ Pound bay scallops
  • ¾ Pound shrimp small, peeled and deveined with tails removed
  • 1 Cup lump crabmeat
  • 1 Teaspoon salt
  • 1 Teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 Cups heavy cream
  • ¾ Cup dry white wine
  • ½ Teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
  • ¾ Cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 9 to 12 lasagna noodles oven-ready
  • 1 ½ Cups Italian blend cheese shredded
  • 1 ½ Cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • nonstick cooking spray as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Set aside.

Prepare the Seafood Mixture

  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the green onions and garlic, cooking for 1 or 2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the scallops and shrimp, cooking for 2 or 3 minutes until just opaque.
  • Stir in the crabmeat, salt, and black pepper.
  • Remove the seafood mixture from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the liquid in the pan.

Make the Sauce

  • Reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Whisk the flour into the remaining liquid in the skillet and cook for 1 minute.
  • Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and white wine, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Add the crushed red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Remove from heat.

Assemble the Seafood Lasagna

  • Spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Place 3 or 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce, overlapping slightly if needed.
  • Layer with a third of the seafood mixture, followed by a quarter of the sauce, and a quarter of the shredded Italian blend and mozzarella cheeses.
  • Repeat the layers: noodles, seafood, sauce and cheeses, until you have 3 full layers.
  • Finish with a final layer of noodles, the remaining sauce and the remaining shredded cheeses.

Bake, Serve and Enjoy

  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Discard the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the lasagna rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Garnish with additional sliced green onion if liked, and serve.

Notes

Don’t overcook seafood: It finishes in the oven, so keep it slightly underdone in the skillet.
Use fresh Parmesan: It melts better and gives stronger flavor.
Let it rest: The layers firm up and slice cleanly after cooling.
