Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté shrimp, crab meat, and scallops for 3-5 minutes or until just cooked through. Add lemon juice, paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 6

Season the béchamel sauce with garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Stir in 1 cup of Parmesan cheese until melted. Remove from heat.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix well.

Step 8

In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce at the bottom.

Step 9

Add a layer of lasagna noodles, then spread 1/3 of the ricotta mixture on top, followed by 1/3 of the seafood mixture, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, and a drizzle of béchamel sauce.

Step 10

Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of béchamel sauce and the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top.

Step 11

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 13

Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
