This Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Lasagna is the ultimate fusion of flavors.

Ingredients You’ll Need
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
12 lasagna noodles, cooked according to package instructions
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup white wine or chicken broth
1 lemon, zest and juice
2 cups ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the Lasagna Noodles:
Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and lay them flat to prevent sticking. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Garlic Butter Shrimp:
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Add shrimp and cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Stir in white wine or broth, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook 2 more minutes until slightly reduced. Remove shrimp and set aside.
3. Make the Creamy Sauce:
In the same skillet, add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and half of the mozzarella. Cook until smooth and melted. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Assemble the Lasagna:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of sauce in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Add a layer of noodles, ricotta, shrimp, sauce, and mozzarella. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing with noodles, sauce, and mozzarella.
