  • Author: Chef Mia
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 9 lasagna noodles
– 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice


Instructions

Creating this Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Lasagna is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Lasagna Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. Sauté Shrimp: In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, approximately 3-5 minutes. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
5. Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, add chicken broth and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and stir for about 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of butter until melted. Remove from heat.
6. Assemble the Lasagna: In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the garlic butter sauce on the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spread half the ricotta cheese on top, then half the shrimp, followed by a layer of mozzarella and a sprinkling of Parmesan. Repeat this process with another layer of noodles, ricotta, shrimp, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
7. Top Layer: For the final layer, place the last 3 noodles on top. Pour the remaining garlic butter sauce over the noodles and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
8. Cover and Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Let it Rest: Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help it hold its shape when served.
10. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle the top with fresh parsley for an added touch of flavor and color.

These steps will guide you through the creation of this incredible dish effortlessly.
