Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Noodles: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water over high heat. Once the water is bubbling vigorously, add the lasagna noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, which usually takes about 8-10 minutes. Drain the noodles and lay them flat on a towel to prevent sticking while you prepare the shrimp scampi filling.
- Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once the butter is foamy, add 4 minced cloves of garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Now, add the deveined shrimp to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
- Make the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and stir over medium heat until it begins to bubble gently, which should take around 2-3 minutes. Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet along with the Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix everything together until well combined and the cheese has melted, creating a luscious sauce.
- Layer the Lasagna: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the creamy shrimp mixture at the bottom. Layer with lasagna noodles, followed by more of the shrimp sauce and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of mozzarella on top.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Cover the assembled Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Lasagna with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes, then carefully remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes. Keep an eye on the lasagna as it bakes; you're looking for a delightful golden-brown top that’s bubbly and inviting.
- Cool and Serve: Once the lasagna is out of the oven, let it cool for about 10 minutes to allow the layers to set nicely. This brief resting time will help make slicing easier. When ready, cut into pieces and serve warm, savoring the irresistible combination of flavors that defines this Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Lasagna.
