Cheesy Seafood Recipe
Seafood Lasagna is unique and delicious and sure to please. Yes, Cheese and Seafood can mix!
My friend Susie posted on facebook about an amazing Cheesy Seafood Lasagna recipe she made earlier this year and I knew we had to try it. THANK YOU SUSIE! Mom helped me figure out the recipe, and we were in business. We used real crab instead of imitation and added some cheese (duh). We also made it in a smaller dish in order to make high layers of all the goodness. THE MORE THE BETTER!
If you’re worried about cheese + seafood, don’t be! It somehow just WORKS in this delicious recipe. It’s a creative spin on a classic recipe that everyone is sure to love. Aren’t easy seafood recipes the best?!
How to Make Seafood Lasagna
This cheesy lasagna recipe is filled with crab, shrimp, scallops, cheese, and so much more. I love how easy it is to combine everything into one easy dish that is just perfect for weeknight dinners.
- Saute green onions and garlic in a skillet, then stir in the broth and clam juice and bring everything to a boil.
- Add in the shrimp, scallops, and crab, and let everything simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Drain and reserve the liquid, and place the seafood mixture in a bowl to set aside.
- Melt butter in the same skillet, then whisk in flour, a mixture of half & half and the reserved liquid, and salt & pepper. Bring this mixture to a boil, and cook until it thickens.
- Remove from heat, then stir in half & half, wine, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan cheese to make the white sauce.
- Stir in 3/4 of the white sauce into the seafood mixture.
- To assemble the seafood lasagna: pour 1/2 the white sauce into the bottom of the baking dish, layer on the uncooked lasagna noodles, 1/4 of the seafood mixture, 1/4 of the white sauce, and sprinkle with cheese. Repeat this 3 times to finish the lasagna.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes at 350°F, and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Served this for a good friends 70th birthday party. It was a real hit! People asked for the recipe.
Thanks for sharing!! I hope you shared!
How would I alter for nine by twelve pan?
It may be a little thinner since it’s a bigger size, or just add 1/4 more ingredients and you make have to bake a little longer!
This is the most amazing recipe that Ive tried in a long time. Just delicious! I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of a small tweak, which included Old Bay seasoning. It was very easy to make, and will become a family staple!
Thanks for sharing, Jody! Sounds amazing!
My mother-in-law made this for Christmas Eve dinner and we loved it! My picky teenage son has asked me to make it so I got the recipe from her. Thanks!
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing, Janet.
I will br trying this recipe this were. I have noodles that I have to cook. Will I need to alter the recipe?
Go ahead and cook the noodles before adding!
This is a very delicate recipe that brings the seafood flavor to the forefront. Coming from New England we love creamy seafood recipes. Despite the cream/milk butter and cheese it’s a very light on and tasty dish. It’s great for entertaining and it has become a favorite of all my friends.
Thanks for sharing, Joe!!
This recipe is amazing ! Instead of chicken broth , I used seafood stock & clam juice. As we like more of a “saucy” type lasagna , I altered the white sauce to make more by adding more wine, half n half and a good bit more Parmesan to melt into it. Also added a tsp of rosemary & teaspoon of thyme at end. Followed recipe to a “T “ besides that! Thank you ! Very happy family of Men with this one !! :)
Wow that sounds delicious!! I’m so happy you all loved it!
Do you have to use white wine in this recipe or can it be left out? Thanks in advance!!
You can always leave it out, it may slightly alter the taste, but not by much!
Delisioso! Very easy to make.
I’m so happy you enjoyed them!
I am making this again this Christmas. Back by popular demand!
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear!
