Creating your own Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Lasagna can be straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Lasagna Noodles: In a large pot of salted water, cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Sauté Shrimp: In a large skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add shrimp, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add white wine (if using) and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the remaining butter, parsley, and Italian seasoning. Let simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
5. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix well, adding salt and pepper to taste.
6. Layer Ingredients: In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Spoon a third of the ricotta mixture over noodles, followed by half of the shrimp mixture. Repeat the layers: sauce, noodles, ricotta, and shrimp.
7. Final Layer: Top the last layer of noodles with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.
8. Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
