🍤 Shrimp Alfredo Lasagna Recipe
A creamy, cheesy twist on classic lasagna with succulent shrimp and rich Alfredo sauce.
🛒 INGREDIENTS
For the Alfredo Sauce:
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for extra richness)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Pinch of nutmeg (optional, but adds depth)
For the Lasagna Layers:
- 12 lasagna noodles (no-boil or pre-cooked)
- 1 ½ lbs raw shrimp, peeled & deveined (size 26/30 or 31/40)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup ricotta (or cottage cheese for a lighter option)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan (for topping)
- Fresh parsley or basil (for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ COOK THE SHRIMP
- Pat shrimp dry and season with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Sauté shrimp for 2–3 minutesuntil just pink (they’ll finish cooking in the oven). Set aside.
2️⃣ MAKE THE ALFREDO SAUCE
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute (this removes the raw flour taste).
- Gradually whisk in milk and cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Simmer for 5–6 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
3️⃣ ASSEMBLE THE LASAGNA
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer in this order:
- Thin layer of Alfredo sauce
- 4 lasagna noodles
- ½ ricotta (dolloped)
- ½ shrimp
- ⅓ mozzarella
- Alfredo sauce
- Repeat layers, ending with noodles, sauce, and remaining mozzarella + Parmesan on top.
4️⃣ BAKE
- Cover with foil (sprayed with oil to prevent sticking).
- Bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
5️⃣ SERVE
- Let rest 10 minutes before slicing (helps set the layers).
- Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan.
💡 Pro Tips
✔ Use no-boil noodles if possible—they absorb sauce beautifully.
✔ Don’t overcook shrimp—they’ll get rubbery when baked.
✔ For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine to the Alfredo sauce.
✔ Make ahead? Assemble, refrigerate, and bake the next day (add 5-10 extra minutes).
This dish is restaurant-worthy yet easy enough for a weeknight dinner. Enjoy! 😋
