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.

Wonderful recipe. Used a slightly over a kilo of good quality marinara seafood mix. Worked well. Delicious. Thank you.
Do you recommend a substitute for the clam juice- really don’t like clams so not sure if I could taste it in the lasagna.
I read in another recipe where someone suggested chicken broth as a substitution for clam juice.
Hi…I’m excited to make this! I do have a question. The recipe calls for 8 noodles, from the look of preparation, it looks like 9??? 3 per layer?? Is that right?
I also wondered if it could be ‘doubled ‘and made in a 9×13 pan….would love to know your thoughts!! 😊
Did you try doubling this recipe? I am making it now and want to do the same thing to put in a 9×13 pan for 10 people. Just wondering how it turned out if you did.
If you read the entire article she says that she used an 8 x 8 pan because she wanted the lasagne to be deeper. If your using a 9 x 13 pan, you could probably follow the same recipe but it would have fewer layers. I don’t have an 8 x 8 pan so plan to use an 9 x 13. Hope this helps.
Can you substitute cooking wine for real wine? I’m not accustomed to cooking with real wine.
You can! We have always found the depth of flavor in real wine is really nice in cooking, but you can use whatever your preference is. The alcohol content cooks out, so no worries there.
This looks amazing. I’m making my grocery list now!
That makes me so happy to hear!
Do you have to use scallops? Or could you substitute something else? If so, what would sub good in this?
You don’t have to! You could just use more of one of the other types of seafood or leave it out completely. Enjoy!
Well this looks amazing!!
Thank you!
This sounds amazing! Definitely a recipe to try, and I’m sure the boyfriend would love it as well. One questions though, is the package of crabmeat real crabmeat, or imitation? Thanks!
We used real crab meat. It’s a little pricey but I do think it makes a nice difference. You can use either, whichever you prefer. Hope you and your boyfriend both love it!
Seafood always makes for the best meal! This lasagna sounds PERFECT!
Thanks Annie!!! xoxo
Do you think you could make this ahead the night before? Or, up to what step do you think it could be made ahead of time?
I definitely think you could make it the night before and refrigerate overnight. You could potentially freeze as well but I haven’t made it that way so I can’t say for sure exactly how that would work. But the night before shouldn’t be any issue. Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks!!
Made it and loved it. I only used shrimp (they were decent sized shrimp) and the shrimp seemed rubbery to me. Can I add the shrimp raw and have them cook while the lasagna cooks? Thanks
