Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined – juicy and tender, these add a seafood twist to the classic lasagna.
• 3 cloves garlic, minced – for a touch of aromatic goodness.
• 2 cups heavy cream – the star of our creamy sauce.
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese – to give that rich flavor and a bit of saltiness.

How to Make Creamy Shrimp Alfredo Lasagna 🧀🦐

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and get ready for some deliciousness!
2. Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions; drain and set aside.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and garlic, cooking until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the shrimp Alfredo mixture on the bottom. Layer 4 lasagna noodles over the sauce.
6. Add half of the remaining shrimp Alfredo mixture over the noodles, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of noodles topped with the remaining sauce and mozzarella cheese.
7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy every bite!

Substitutions & Additions

• If shrimp isn’t your thing, try using cooked chicken or sautéed vegetables for a vegetarian option.
• Swap out the heavy cream for half-and-half for a lighter version, but the sauce might be less thick.
• Add some spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrients.
• For a spicy kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes into the sauce!

Tips for Success

• Don’t overcook the shrimp; they’ll become rubbery. Just cook until they turn pink.
• If you’re prepping ahead, you can assemble the lasagna the day before and bake it when ready.
• Use a mix of cheeses if you want to get creative – fontina or gouda could be delicious additions!

How to Store Creamy Shrimp Alfredo Lasagna 🧀🦐

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to freeze it, wrap the lasagna tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months! Just remember to let it thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating in the oven.
