Ingredients:

9 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente 🍝

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined 🦐

1 lb lump crabmeat 🦀

1 lb white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut), diced 🐟

3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄

1/4 cup butter 🧈

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups whole milk 🥛

1 cup chicken or seafood broth 🍲

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish 🌿

Salt and pepper to taste 🧂

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Seafood:

In a skillet, sauté minced garlic in butter over medium heat. Add shrimp, crabmeat, and diced fish. Cook until the seafood is opaque and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

2. Make the Béchamel Sauce:

In the same skillet, melt additional butter. Whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually pour in milk and chicken or seafood broth, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Assemble the Lasagna:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place three cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce. Add a layer of the seafood mixture, followed by a layer of béchamel sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the sauce. Repeat the layers, finishing with a generous sprinkle of cheese on top.

4. Bake to Perfection:

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
