• Crowd-pleasing: Everyone loves creamy pasta and seafood, making this a guaranteed hit!

Ingredients

Gather your simple ingredients, and let’s make some deliciousness!

• 9 lasagna noodles: The sturdy foundation for our delicious roll-ups. Use oven-ready or classic, just make sure to cook them al dente if they’re not no-boil!
• 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped: You can buy these pre-cooked and thawed to save time, or quickly sauté some fresh shrimp until pink.
• 1 cup crab meat: Fresh or canned (well-drained and flaked) both work wonderfully. I often use imitation crab for ease and affordability, and it’s still absolutely delicious!
• 2 cups Alfredo sauce: Your favorite jarred Alfredo sauce is perfectly fine here for convenience, or whip up a quick homemade batch if you’re feeling ambitious!
• 1 cup ricotta cheese: This creamy Italian cheese is key to that classic lasagna texture and helps bind our filling.
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded: For that irresistible, melty, gooey cheese pull.
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated: Adds a salty, nutty kick to both the filling and the topping.
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic: Because everything is better with garlic, right?
• 1 tablespoon olive oil: For a little sizzle and flavor when prepping your seafood.
• Salt, to taste: Essential for bringing out all those wonderful flavors.
• Pepper, to taste: A little freshly ground black pepper always enhances the dish.
• Fresh parsley, for garnish: Adds a pop of color and freshness at the end. Don’t skip it!

How to Make Shrimp & Crab Alfredo Lasagna Roll-Ups

Get ready for a super straightforward process that yields a truly impressive meal!

1. First things first, get those lasagna noodles cooking! In a large pot, bring plenty of salted water to a rolling boil. Add your 9 lasagna noodles and cook them according to the package instructions until they’re al dente. You want them flexible but not mushy. Once they’re done, drain them really well and lay them out on a clean surface (like a large cutting board or parchment paper) so they don’t stick together.
2. While your noodles are doing their thing, let’s make the magical filling. Grab a big bowl and toss in your chopped cooked shrimp, crab meat, ricotta cheese, half of your Alfredo sauce (we’ll save the other half for later!), and that fragrant minced garlic. Give it a good stir to combine everything evenly. Now’s the time to season it up with salt and pepper to your liking. I always taste a tiny bit of the mixture here to make sure the seasoning is just right!
3. Next, prepare your baking dish. You’ll want a 9×13 inch baking dish for this. Pour a thin layer of the remaining Alfredo sauce onto the bottom of the dish. This prevents sticking and adds an extra layer of creamy goodness.
4. Alright, time to assemble! Lay out one of your cooked lasagna noodles. Spoon an even amount of that glorious shrimp and crab mixture all along one end of the noodle. Don’t overfill it, or it’ll be tricky to roll. Then, gently but firmly, roll up each noodle.
5. Carefully place each rolled-up noodle into your prepared baking dish, seam-side down. They should fit snugly, side by side.
6. Once all your roll-ups are in the dish, pour the rest of that delicious Alfredo sauce evenly over the tops of them. Make sure every roll-up gets a nice coat!
7. Now for the cheesy crown! Sprinkle both the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses generously over the top of the roll-ups. This is where you get that golden, bubbly crust.
8. Time to bake! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once hot, cover your baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Pop it in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. The foil helps steam the roll-ups and ensures they heat through evenly without drying out.
9. After 20 minutes, remove the foil. This is when the magic happens! Continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is wonderfully bubbly and has a beautiful, lightly golden hue. If you want it extra golden or a little crispy, you can even broil it for a minute or two at the very end, but watch it closely!
10. Once it’s done, take it out of the oven. It’s going to smell amazing! Let the lasagna roll-ups cool for just a few minutes before serving. This helps the cheese set and makes them easier to handle. Finally, sprinkle with some fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Enjoy your masterpiece!

Substitutions & Additions

One of the best things about cooking is making a recipe your own! Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

• Seafood Swaps: Not a fan of crab? Use extra shrimp! You could also try scallops, lobster, or even flaked white fish like cod.
• Veggies Welcome: Want to sneak in some greens? Sautéed spinach, finely diced bell peppers, or even a handful of frozen peas would be delicious additions to the filling. Just make sure to drain any excess moisture.
• Cheese Please: Experiment with other cheeses! A sprinkle of provolone, fontina, or even a little bit of cream cheese in the filling could add a different dimension.
• Spice it Up: A pinch of red pepper flakes in the filling or sauce would give it a lovely little kick.
• Sauce It Up: While Alfredo is classic, you could certainly try a rosé sauce (Alfredo mixed with marinara) or even a creamy pesto sauce for a different flavor profile.
• Add Chicken: If you’re looking for a surf-and-turf experience, add some finely diced cooked chicken to the mix. It pairs wonderfully with both the seafood and the creamy Alfredo. And if you’re looking for even more creative ways to enjoy shrimp and creamy sauces, you might love our Shrimp Alfredo Burrito Bites!

Tips for Success

I want you to nail this recipe every single time, so here are a few insider tips:

• Don’t Overcook Your Noodles: This is a big one! Al dente is key because they’ll continue to cook in the oven. If they’re too soft to start, they’ll become gummy and fall apart.
• Lay Noodles Flat: As soon as you drain the noodles, lay them flat on a baking sheet or clean counter. If you pile them up, they’ll stick together and make rolling a nightmare.
• Don’t Overfill: It’s tempting to load up those noodles, but a manageable amount of filling makes for easier rolling and keeps the roll-ups neat.
• Seasoning is Key: Taste your filling before assembling! Seafood needs good seasoning to shine, so don’t be shy with the salt and pepper.
• Prep Ahead: You can assemble the entire dish up to a day in advance! Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to bake, add about 10-15 minutes to the covered baking time to account for it being cold.

How to Store Shrimp & Crab Alfredo Lasagna Roll-Ups

Got leftovers? Lucky you! These roll-ups store beautifully.

• In the Refrigerator: Once cooled, cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or transfer individual roll-ups to an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days.
• Reheating: For best results, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes for a larger portion, or microwave individual roll-ups.
• Freezing: You can absolutely freeze these! For individual portions, wrap each cooled roll-up tightly in plastic wrap, then foil, and place in a freezer-safe bag or container. For the whole dish, cover it tightly with foil. They’ll last for up to 2-3 months in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating in the oven.

FAQs

Got questions? I’ve got answers!

Can I use fresh lasagna sheets instead of dried?

Absolutely! Fresh lasagna sheets are wonderful and cook even faster. Just adjust your cooking time accordingly, often just a minute or two in boiling water or no pre-boil needed if the package specifies. Then proceed with the recipe!

What side dishes pair well with this?

A light green salad with a vinaigrette dressing is perfect to balance the richness. Garlic bread or crusty Italian bread for soaking up all that delicious sauce is also a must-have in my book! If you’re a fan of creamy casseroles but want something different, you should definitely check out our Creamy Chicken Alfredo Tater Tot Casserole!

Can I make this dairy-free or gluten-free?

Making it fully dairy-free would require significant substitutions for the Alfredo sauce, ricotta, and cheeses, changing the core flavor profile. However, for gluten-free, simply use your favorite gluten-free lasagna noodles. Many brands hold up beautifully for rolling!
