  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

For the Ricotta Mixture:

  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Lasagna Layers:

  • 9 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

For the Creamy White Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk (whole milk or half-and-half)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Garlic Butter Shrimp

  1. In a large pan, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  3. Stir in shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink.
  4. Pour in white wine (or chicken broth) and lemon juice, and let it simmer for another 2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Ricotta Mixture

  1. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Step 3: Make the Creamy White Sauce

  1. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add flour and whisk for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  3. Gradually pour in milk and heavy cream, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
  4. Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce thicken for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Spread a thin layer of the creamy white sauce at the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  3. Layer three cooked lasagna noodles.
  4. Spread ⅓ of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
  5. Add ⅓ of the garlic butter shrimp, followed by a layer of shredded mozzarella.
  6. Repeat layers two more times (noodles, ricotta, shrimp, cheese).
  7. Finish with a final layer of noodles, remaining white sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan.

Step 5: Bake the Lasagna

  1. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  2. Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
  3. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • You can substitute white wine with chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version.
  • If you love extra garlic flavor, add a roasted garlic layer between the noodles.
  • For a lighter version, use low-fat ricotta and milk instead of heavy cream.
  • Serve with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
