Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the large shrimp and red pepper flakes, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from skillet.
  3. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Stir in ricotta cheese until smooth. Then add mozzarella and parmesan cheese, stirring until all cheese has melted.
  5. Fold the cooked shrimp back into the creamy sauce and remove from heat.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). While heating, prepare lasagna noodles according to package instructions.
  7. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and spread a thin layer of the creamy shrimp sauce on the bottom. Layer noodles, shrimp filling, and extra mozzarella, repeating until all ingredients are used.
  8. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is golden.
  9. Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
