Seafood Lasagna with Shrimp & Crab

1️⃣ Prepare the Seafood

• In a pan, melt butter over medium heat.
• Add onion & garlic → sauté until soft and fragrant.
• Add shrimp → cook 2–3 minutes until pink.
• Stir in crab meat, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Cook another 2 minutes, then add parsley.
• Remove from heat and set aside.

2️⃣ Make the Creamy Sauce

• Melt butter in a saucepan.
• Add flour and whisk for 1 minute (this removes raw taste).
• Gradually add milk while whisking continuously.
• Stir in cream, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
• Cook until thick and smooth (velvety texture 💫).

3️⃣ Assemble the Lasagna

• Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
• In a baking dish:
  1. Spread a layer of sauce
  2. Add lasagna sheets
  3. Add seafood mixture
  4. Add sauce + mozzarella
• Repeat layers (usually 3 layers total).
• Finish with sauce + mozzarella + Parmesan on top.

4️⃣ Bake to Perfection

• Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
• Remove foil and bake another 15–20 minutes until golden and bubbly 🔥
• Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing (important!).

💡 Pro Tips (Secret Restaurant Touch)

• Add a splash of lemon juice to the seafood → enhances flavor 🍋
• Use a mix of cheeses (mozzarella + Gruyère) for deeper taste
• Don’t overcook shrimp—they should stay juicy
• Letting lasagna rest makes cleaner slices
