1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2

Mix ricotta mixture ingredients (sour cream, ricotta, garlic paste, parmesan, parsley, cajun seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper) in a mixing bowl and set aside.

3

Prep seafood by cleaning and peeling as needed; partially cook shrimp and lobster (or scallops/crawfish) in melted butter and season lightly with cajun seasoning, then mix with crab meat and set aside.

4

Make the sauce by melting butter, adding lobster base (optional), then flour to form a roux. Gradually add stock and heavy cream, bringing to a boil before reducing to a simmer. Stir in cheese until smooth and season to taste.

5

Boil lasagna noodles according to package instructions, adding salt or lobster base to the water for flavor.

6

Assemble the lasagna by layering cream sauce, noodles, ricotta mixture, seafood, cheese, and repeat until the dish is full. Top with a final layer of seafood and cheese.

7

Bake for 30-40 minutes or until brown and bubbly; let rest for 20-30 minutes before cutting.
