I really love lasagna and I don’t know a single person who doesn’t. But sometimes when you use the same family recipe over and over again, it gets a little boring – no matter how tasty it is. That’s why I first started looking for a new lasagna recipe. And I must say this one is going straight to my Top 5 list!
Ingredients for Seafood Lasagna
1 green onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup butter, divided
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 bottle (8 ounces) clam juice
1 pound bay scallops
1 pound uncooked small shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 package (8 ounces) imitation crabmeat, chopped
1/4 teaspoon white pepper, divided
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups 2% milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese,divided
9 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
Instructions:
In a large skillet, saute onion in oil and 2 tablespoons butter until tender. Stir in broth and clam juice; bring to a boil. Add scallops, shrimp, crab and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; return to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer uncovered for a few minutes until shrimp turn pink and scallops are firm and opaque. Drain, reserving cooking liquid; set seafood mixture aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the remaining butter; stir in flour until smooth. Combine milk and reserved cooking liquid; add to the saucepan. Add salt and remaining pepper. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Remove from the heat; stir in cream and 1/4 cup cheese. Stir 3/4 cup white sauce into the seafood mixture.
Preheat oven to 350°. Spread 1/2 cup white sauce in a greased 13×9-in. baking dish. Top with three noodles; spread with half of the seafood mixture and 1-1/4 cups sauce. Repeat layers. Top with remaining noodles, sauce and cheese.
Bake, uncovered, at for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
