Ingredients

Scale
  1. 500 g (1 lb) clean and peeled prawns
  2. 12 sheets lasagna pasta
  3. 3 tbsp butter
  4. 1 small onion, chopped
  5. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 1 cup heavy cream
  7. 1 cup milk
  8. 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  9. 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  10. 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  11. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  12. Salt and pepper, to taste
  13. Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Cook Pasta: Cook the lasagna sheets according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Cook Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink. Remove and set aside.
  • Make Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and sauté the onion and garlic until soft. Stir in the heavy cream and milk. Cook on low heat until the sauce thickens.
  • Add Cheese: Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, cooking until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
  • Assemble Lasagna:
    • Spread a thin layer of white sauce at the bottom of a baking dish.
    • Add a layer of lasagna sheets, followed by a layer of shrimp, dollops of ricotta, and a sprinkle of parsley.
    • Repeat the layers, finishing with a generous layer of white sauce and mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  • Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Seafood Alternatives: Substitute shrimp with crab meat or scallops for a variation.
  • Vegetarian Option: Replace shrimp with sautéed mushrooms or spinach for a meatless version.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the lasagna a day in advance and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
