How to Make Creamy Shrimp Alfredo Lasagna
Step 1: Cook the Garlic Butter Shrimp
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Add shrimp, season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for 2–3 minutes until pink and cooked through.
Drizzle with lemon juice and remove from heat. Roughly chop most of the shrimp, leaving some whole for topping.
Step 2: Make the Homemade Alfredo Sauce
In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic until golden.
Stir in flour to form a roux and cook for 1–2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in milk (or milk and cream mixture), stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
Add Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Prepare the Ricotta Cheese Mixture
In a bowl, combine ricotta, egg, salt, and pepper until well blended.
Step 4: Assemble the Shrimp Lasagna
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9×13” baking dish.
Layer ingredients in the following order:
Alfredo sauce
Lasagna noodles
