Seafood Lasagna with Shrimp & Crab

🦐🦀 Seafood Lasagna with Shrimp & Crab 🧀🔥
Tender lasagna noodles layered with a rich seafood béchamel, succulent shrimp, sweet crab, ribbons of mozzarella, and a bronzed Parmesan crust—this Seafood Lasagna is pure coastal indulgence. If you’re craving a celebratory bake that feels special but cooks in one pan, you’ve found it. The sauce is silky (thanks to a classic white roux), the seafood stays tender, and every slice cuts clean with cascading layers of flavor. 🍤🦀

In this complete guide, you’ll get an expertly tested recipe, smart chef moves to lift flavor without fuss, health and safety best practices for seafood, and a nutrition & benefits table. We’ll also answer the most common questions—freezing, make-ahead, substitutions, and how to keep seafood perfectly juicy in the oven. Let’s build a restaurant-quality lasagna you’ll be proud to serve to 8–10 happy guests. 🙌

What Makes This Seafood Lasagna Stand Out
Traditional lasagna often leans on tomato sauce and beef. Here, we pivot to a white lasagna that celebrates delicate seafood flavors. The béchamel is scented with garlic, shallot, white wine, lemon zest, and a whisper of Old Bay—enough character to feel coastal, but restrained so shrimp and crab shine. We finish with mozzarella for ooze, Parmesan for a nutty crust, and fresh herbs for brightness. The result is comforting yet elegant, with well-balanced richness that doesn’t overwhelm. ✨

The Texture Promise
Every bite should be silky, not heavy. We par-cook (or soak) noodles for a perfect bite, keep the béchamel pourable (not paste-like), and gently pre-cook the shrimp to avoid overcooking. Fold in crab right at assembly to preserve its sweet, tender flakes.
