Ingredients

• 24 sheets Wonton wrappers
• 200 grams Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
• 150 grams Crab meat (fresh or canned)
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1.5 cups Marinara sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing pan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the chopped shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped crab meat, cooked shrimp, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix well and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 5

Place one wonton wrapper into each cup of the muffin tin, pressing it down gently to form a base.

Step 6

Add a small spoonful of marinara sauce to each wonton wrapper, followed by a layer of the seafood mixture. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 7

Place another wonton wrapper over the first layer, pressing it down slightly. Repeat the layering process with marinara sauce, seafood mixture, and mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Finish each cupcake with a final layer of marinara sauce, a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, and a dusting of the remaining Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the wonton edges are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the lasagna cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.

Step 11

Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm. Enjoy your Lasagna Cupcakes with Seafood!
