Any time I make dinner for a seafood lover, this lasagna is a no-brainer. Seafood is often times made for special occasions, so it’s fun to treat your guests to this delicious meal.

What Is Seafood Lasagna?
Seafood lasagna is a spin on the beloved traditional lasagna! Instead of a red sauce, this lasagna has a creamy white sauce that compliments the seafood deliciously. Crab, scallops, and shrimp get layered in between the sauce and noodles and it bakes to perfection. The cheese melts and the flavors burst in your mouth. It’s like a seafood dream and you will love every bite! I love cheesy lasagna dishes because it makes the whole family happy. And it’s made all in one casserole dish, so dinner is made easy. Lasagna can be versatile, and I have some great recipes made with both white and red sauces. You should try my classic lasagna, this skillet version of lasagna, or these delicious Alfredo roll-ups. The rollups are a fun version of filling and rolling lasagna noodles and your family will love it!

To Assemble
Use Frozen Seafood: Thaw and drain any excess liquid before using. Switch Up the Seafood: Use any combination of seafood you would like. Leave out or double any of the seafood options. Salmon would be delicious because it gives a rich buttery flavor. Add Vegetables: Sneak in some veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or artichoke hearts. How to Prevent Watery Lasagna: Drain excess liquid from the seafood before adding it to the recipe. This prevents the seafood lasagna from being too watery. Baking the lasagna uncovered for the last 10-15 minutes helps the excess liquid to evaporate.
In the Refrigerator: Lasagna is better the next day and this is no exception. Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 5 days. In the Freezer: This recipe freezes so well. Freeze before cooking or after. Double the recipe and make one to eat and one to freeze for another day. If you freeze it after baking allow it to cool completely before freezing. Cover tightly or transfer individual portions to freezer-safe containers. Freeze for up to 3 months. To Reheat: To reheat the baked lasagna from frozen place in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. It will take about 30-40 min to heat through. Reheat leftovers in the microwave until warmed through. To Bake From Frozen: Bake the unbaked lasagna from frozen at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Add on an extra 20-30 minutes.
