Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook lasagna noodles until al dente, drain, and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft, then add garlic and cook until fragrant.
Add shrimp, season lightly, and cook until pink. Remove shrimp, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
In the same skillet, whisk in flour to form a roux. Gradually add milk and cream, whisking until the sauce thickens.
Season the sauce with salt, pepper, Old Bay, and Italian seasoning. Stir in shrimp and crab, then remove from heat.
Spread a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer noodles, ricotta, seafood sauce, and mozzarella. Repeat layers, finishing with mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until bubbly and golden. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Add sautéed spinach between layers for extra color and nutrients.
Use lump or claw crab meat for best texture and flavor.
Thicken sauce well and drain seafood to avoid watery lasagna.
No-boil noodles can be used with slightly thinner sauce.
Lasagna can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking.
