Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) shrimp, peeled and deveined
Dairy and Cheese:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) butter
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) milk
Dry Ingredients and Seasonings:
- 9 lasagna noodles
- 4 tablespoons (30 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Prepare the lasagna foundation by arranging the noodles into a precise grid after boiling them to tender perfection according to package guidelines.
- Craft a velvety white sauce by gently melting butter in a saucepan, whisking flour until seamlessly incorporated, then gradually introducing milk and aromatic seasonings.
- Allow the sauce to transform, simmering and thickening for precisely 2 minutes while stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
- Create a strategic layering technique in a 9×13 inch baking vessel, starting with a delicate white sauce base to prevent noodle adhesion.
- Methodically construct alternating strata: first noodles, then distribute succulent shrimp across the surface, generously drench with white sauce, and lavishly sprinkle mozzarella cheese.
- Replicate this layering sequence twice, ensuring the final summit is crowned with a luxurious blanket of mozzarella.
- Dust the entire landscape with a fine snowfall of Parmesan cheese for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Slide the assembled masterpiece into a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven, allowing it to bake for 35-40 minutes until the surface achieves a golden, bubbling transformation.
- After removing from the oven, permit the lasagna to rest and stabilize for 10 minutes, enabling the layers to set and flavors to harmonize before serving.
Notes
- Prevent noodles from sticking by rinsing with cold water and tossing with a little olive oil after draining.
- Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and texture in this creamy lasagna.
- Use whole milk for a richer, more luxurious white sauce that creates a silky smooth consistency.
- For a low-carb version, substitute lasagna noodles with thinly sliced zucchini or eggplant layers.
