Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the shrimp and scallops completely dry with paper towels.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced shallots and garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the white wine, whisking to combine. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in Old Bay, salt, and pepper.
- Add the shrimp and scallops to the thickened sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until shrimp just turn pink. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, 1/2 of the mozzarella, 1/2 of the Parmesan, the beaten egg, and fresh parsley. Mix well.
- Spread about 1 cup of the seafood sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange 3-4 lasagna noodles on top. Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with about one-third of the remaining seafood sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Repeat with another layer of noodles, the rest of the ricotta mixture, and another third of the sauce. Finish with a final layer of noodles, the remaining sauce, and top generously with the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for at least 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving. This helps the layers set.
Notes
Tip 1: For the best flavor and texture, use freshly grated cheeses. Pre-shredded cheeses often contain anti-caking agents that prevent them from melting smoothly.
Tip 2: Don't overcook the seafood in the sauce! It will cook more in the oven, and this step is just to get it started. Overcooking will make it tough.
Tip 3: Letting the lasagna rest before slicing is crucial. It allows the layers to set, ensuring clean, beautiful slices.
