Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked lobster meat chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 lb crab meat optional
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese divided
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 1/4 tbsp white pepper
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 lb lasagna noodles
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 bunch diced green onions

Method
 

  1. Sauté shrimp and lobster 3–4 minutes until just cooked; set aside and gently flake crab if using.
  2. Melt butter, add flour, and whisk into a roux; slowly add milk and cook until thickened.
  3. Add garlic, salt, pepper, half the parmesan, white wine, and heavy cream; simmer until smooth.
  4. Mix ricotta, egg, garlic, mozzarella, and parsley in a separate bowl.
  5. Spread béchamel on bottom of a greased 9×13 dish; layer noodles, ricotta mixture, seafood, and béchamel.
  6. Repeat layers three times, finishing with sauce and cheeses.
  7. Bake covered at 375°F for 30 minutes; uncover and bake 10–15 minutes until golden.
  8. Rest 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Prevent overcooking by removing seafood from heat early—residual heat and baking will finish the job perfectly.
