Instructions
Creating Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Lasagna can be a straightforward process when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Lasagna Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Sauté Shrimp: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until pink, around 3-4 minutes. Remove shrimp and set aside.
4. Make Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream; mix well. Bring it to a gentle simmer, then add Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir until cheese melts.
6. Layering: In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the garlic butter sauce at the bottom.
7. Add Noodles: Place 3 sheets of lasagna noodles over the sauce.
8. First Layer of Shrimp: Add half of the sautéed shrimp on top of the noodles, then drizzle some garlic butter sauce.
9. Mozzarella Cheese: Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese over the shrimp.
10. Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering process (sauce, noodles, shrimp, sauce, mozzarella) until ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of noodles and the remaining garlic butter sauce topped with mozzarella cheese.
11. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
12. Cool Before Serving: Once cooked, remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the layers to set.
13. Garnish: Before serving, garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
