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!

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.

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!
An absolute 5 star recipe. I’ve made this several times with great success and always a recipe request. Be sure to go through the crab very carefully for shells even if it’s been done for you. I used barely half the amount of cheese and it is wonderfully rich and creamy enough. I also double it every time with no problems. It also freezes very well. Looking forward to more recipes from this site!
Thank you so much, Nancy! That’s a great tip! I’m glad you’re enjoying the recipes!
Made this recipe twice this week! I cheated and used cooked shrimp and double lump crabmeat, no scallops. Added a teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning. Taste was amazing! Going to make this on a regular basis!
Love the substitutions! I’ll have to try that!
