Seafood Lasagna

"Excellent seafood flavor - scallops, shrimp, and crab with just the right amount of creamy sauce. I can never have just one serving of this. I think the clam juice is what gives the sauce such a good flavor. I use precooked shrimp so I don't have to cook them with the scallops at all. I always add extra Parmesan cheese (the real shredded kind, not the powdery grated kind) to the sauce and on top. You can use either white pepper or black pepper."

  1. I've been making this recipe for over a year now. I got it from the Taste of Home website. It's the best seafood lasagna I've ever had. A little time consuming but well worth it however, I wouldn't recommend using precooked shrimp-they tend to get hard during the baking time. This has a wonderful flavor and it's very filling. Thanks for posting it.
     
  2. Great dinner for a party. <br/>Some simple mods: I substituted 8 oz. refrigerated pasteurized crab claws (will not get "stringy" and good flavor) for the fake crab and Penzy's Seafood bullion for the clam juice and chicken broth (I had "non-meat eaters). I also added a teaspoon of Coleman's dry mustard (I usually use some dry mustard or cayenne in my white sauces) for a bit of zip.
     
  3. Wonderful recipe. So good! My subs were fish stock for clam juice. Used real crab meat. Didn't have enough milk so used cream -- a lot of cream! Perhaps that's why I loved it so much. Very rich and yummy. Will definitely make again!
     
  4. This is delicious! I cooked the shrimp & scallops in the butter, then after removing them I added the green onion. I Deglazed the pan w/ 1/2 cup of dry sherry. Used all clam juice instead of the chicken broth and added Old Bay & Cajun seasoning. Big hit at the dinner party!!
     
  5. This will be my “go to” dish for sure.

  2. This is excellent! I did substitute additional clam juice for the chicken broth. I also used large shrimp cut in half and sea scallops instead of bay.
