Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cook the Shrimp Scampi:
    • In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
    • Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
    • Stir in chicken broth, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat and set aside.
  • Make the White Sauce:
    • In a separate pan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute.
    • Gradually whisk in milk and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Stir in Parmesan cheese, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  • Prepare Ricotta Mixture:
    • In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the egg until smooth.
  • Assemble the Lasagna:
    • Spread a thin layer of white sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • Layer 4 cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce.
    • Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles.
    • Add half of the shrimp scampi over the ricotta.
    • Repeat the layers: white sauce, noodles, ricotta mixture, and shrimp scampi.
    • Finish with a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the lasagna is golden and bubbly.
  • Serve: Let the lasagna cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
