    This creamy lasagna recipe is really made like other lasagna recipes. Instead of using ground beef, it uses seafood as the protein. Use a mixture of cooked shrimp and imitation crab (and sometimes I add scallops).

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • Retro - a classic recipe popular from the 80's that tastes amazing!
    • Easy - no Bechamel Sauce or Roux needed, the creamy base is made with canned soup
    • Affordable - cheaper than most using Imitation Crab and Frozen Shrimp

    Key Ingredients

    • Lasagna Sheets - fresh pasta is sold in supermarkets everywhere
    • Cream Cheese - block of cream cheese at room temperature
    • Cottage Cheese - creamy cottage cheese is best
    • Cheese - Mozzarella, Parmesan and Cheddar Cheese
    • Herbs - fresh basil and oregano
    • Seafood - Cooked Shrimp, Imitation Crab and optional Scallops
    • Cream of Mushroom Soup - or condensed mushroom soup
    • White Wine - any dry white wine

    Campbell's Soup Recipe

    Campbell's Soup Can recipes were popular when I was growing up, often used as a creamy base. It's a comfort food that's fast, flavorful and convenient. Many Seafood Lasagna recipes are made with a white sauce or béchamel sauce. The mushroom soup base is a tasty and easy replacement for the Alfredo.

    How to Make Seafood Lasagna

    Like traditional lasagna recipes, it's made with layers of pasta stuffed with protein and cheese. In this recipe, you will layer the Cheese Mixture and Seafood Mushroom Mixture between pasta sheets.

    Prepare Lasagna Bases

    1. Sauté - fry onions in butter until caramelized.
    2. Cheese Mixture - Combine cream cheese, cottage cheese, fried onions, mozzarella, egg, herbs and seasoning.
    3. Seafood Mushroom Mixture - In a bowl, mix together canned mushroom soup, milk, white wine and seafood.

    Build the Lasagna

    1. Layer with Lasagna Sheet - Start with placing a layer of lasagna sheets in the base of the pan.
    2. Spread First Layer - Spread ½ Cheese mixture over the pasta. Spoon ½ Seafood Mushroom Mixture over the Cheese Mixture.
    3. Layer More Pasta - Cover with another layer of lasagna sheets.
    4. Spread Final Layer - Finish spreading rest of Cheese and Seafood Mix over pasta.
    5. Cover and Bake - Sprinkle with grated Parmesan Cheese. Cover and bake with foil for 45 minutes.
    6. Extra Cheese - Remove foil, add cheddar cheese and bake until melted.
    7. Rest - Allow to rest for 15 minutes before eating - don't worry, it will still be hot!

    What Lasagna Noodles Do I Use?

    • Fresh Lasagna Sheets - easiest option, can be cut down to fit
    • Oven Ready Lasagna Sheets - most commonly found, ready to layer
    • Classic Lasagna Sheets - these ones need boiling before using

    Seafood Lasagna Side Dishes

    • Garden Salad with Italian Dressing
    • Cheesy Pull-Apart Garlic Bread
    • Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
    • Roasted Tomatoes
    • Bell Pepper Salad

    Recipe Tips and FAQs

    • Skip the Seafood! substitute seafood with chopped chicken and bacon
    • Old Bay Seasoning - add this seasoning that goes fantastic with seafood
    • Cut your Scallops - if using scallops, cut them to similar size as shrimp
    • Cottage Cheese Substitute - switch it out with Ricotta Cheese
    • Let It Rest - super important to let it settle, or it will can be soupy if served right away from the oven
    • Crab Sticks - imitation crab is usually a Pollock fish, but you can substitute with a few cans of canned crabs

    Fish in Seafood Lasagna

    You can adapt and change the seafood in this recipe. Substitute shrimp with your favorite white fish, try these suggestions.

    • Grilled Snapper
    • Flounder
    • Haddock
    • Sole
    • Halibut
    • Lobster Tails

    Storage

    • Fridge - wrap leftovers with cling wrap and keep refrigerated. Eat within 3-4 days.
    • Freezing Leftovers - Tightly wrap in plastic, then foil and place in the freezer. Alternatively, place cut pieces in Ziploc bag. Enjoy within 4 weeks, defrost in the fridge before reheating in oven.
    • Freezing in Advance - Lasagna is best frozen when it is assembled, but not baked. Wrap in foil and freeze. Best enjoyed within 4 weeks (but can be frozen up to 3 months). Defrost in fridge and bake.
