Instructions
Preparation
- Start by prepping all your ingredients and chopping your garlic. If using fresh spinach, rinse and chop it roughly.
Cooking Shrimp
- In a skillet, melt some butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and stir until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Then add the shrimp and sauté for about 3–4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
Making the Creamy Sauce
- In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the remaining garlic butter. Slowly whisk in half of the grated Parmesan.
- Reduce the heat to low, add the cooked lobster meat, and let it simmer for a few minutes.
Combining Cheeses
- In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, remaining Parmesan, spinach, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Combine until smooth.
Layering the Lasagna
- In a baking dish, spread a layer of the creamy garlic sauce.
- Place a layer of lasagna noodles on top, followed by a portion of the cheese mixture, and a layer of the shrimp.
- Repeat the process: sauce, noodles, cheese mixture, and shrimp, making sure to finish with a layer of sauce on top.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Serving
- Let the lasagna sit for about 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with a bit more sauce if desired and serve with a fresh salad.
Notes
For perfection, use quality ingredients, avoid overcooking the seafood, and consider making this dish a day in advance. Store leftovers properly and reheat carefully.
