Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 8 lasagna noodles
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup butter
• ¼ cup white wine
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Preparation Method

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook for about one minute, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.

Once the shrimp are cooked, stir in the white wine, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.

Meanwhile, cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set them aside on a flat surface to prevent sticking.

To assemble the lasagna, spread a small amount of the shrimp sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. Place a layer of cooked lasagna noodles on top, followed by a generous portion of the shrimp mixture and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Continue layering until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of shrimp and sauce on top.

Bake the lasagna in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it’s bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes to set before slicing. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy the perfect blend of creamy, garlicky goodness and tender shrimp!

Tips and Conclusion

For an extra burst of flavor, add a dash of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter sauce for a hint of spice. Want it even cheesier? Add mozzarella or Gruyère to each layer for a richer lasagna.
