ingredients

(Here's a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Lasagna noodles
Cooked shrimp, chopped
Crab meat (real or imitation)
Alfredo sauce
Ricotta cheese
Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Parmesan cheese, grated
Garlic (powder or fresh)
Italian seasoning or simple herbs
Olive oil (if sautéing garlic/shrimp)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

directions

I start by preheating the oven to 375°F. I cook the lasagna noodles until al dente, drain them, and lay them flat. I mix ricotta, an egg, Parmesan, half the mozzarella, chopped shrimp, crab, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
I spread a third of the Alfredo sauce on the bottom of my baking dish. Then I spoon the seafood‑cheese mixture along each noodle, roll them up, and place them seam‑side down in the dish. Over the roll‑ups, I pour the remaining Alfredo sauce and sprinkle with the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan. I bake covered for about 25 minutes, then uncover and bake another 10 minutes until bubbly and golden. Finally, I let them rest a few minutes and top with chopped parsley before serving.

Servings and timing

Based on the recipe, I expect this to make about 6 servings
The estimated timing is Prep Time: 20 minutes and Cook Time: 30 minutes—bringing the total to around 50 minutes.

Variations

I can use imitation crab instead of real crab to save money.
I often use frozen shrimp (thawed and patted dry) to make prep quicker.
To lighten it, I’ll use part‑skim ricotta or reduced‑fat Alfredo sauce and sneak in chopped spinach.
For extra flavor, I sometimes add Cajun seasoning or red pepper flakes to the filling.
I’ve experimented with Fontina or Gruyère instead of mozzarella for a richer melt.

storage/reheating

I store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I pop them in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or microwave individual portions. If I freeze them unbaked, I wrap them tightly—when ready, I bake from frozen, adding about 15–20 extra minutes to the cook time.

FAQs

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Yes—I often assemble the roll‑ups ahead and refrigerate them, then bake when I'm ready to serve.

Can I use fresh crab instead of imitation or canned?

Absolutely—I prefer fresh lump crab for the best flavor, though imitation works fine and is more budget‑friendly.

How can I lighten up this recipe?

I use lighter Alfredo sauce and part‑skim ricotta, and I sometimes mix in chopped spinach or extra veggies to cut richness.

Can I freeze the roll‑ups?

Yes—I freeze them uncooked (tightly wrapped). When I'm ready to serve, I bake them from frozen, adding about 15–20 minutes to the total bake time.

What sides go well with this dish?

I like serving garlic bread to soak up sauce, or a bright green salad with lemon vinaigrette to balance the creaminess.

Conclusion

I consider these Shrimp & Crab Alfredo Lasagna Roll‑Ups a gorgeous balance of rich flavors and ease of prep. Whether I’m cooking for guests or treating myself, this dish feels indulgent yet approachable. Elegant, comforting, and totally crave‑worthy—worth every minute and every bite!
