Garlic Butter Seafood Lasagna Rolls 🧄🦐🦀 Creamy Garlic Shrimp & Crab Rolled in Lasagna Sheets and Baked in Velvety White Sauce

These rolls flip the classic lasagna format: instead of layers, you roll tender lasagna sheets around a buttery seafood filling, pour over a garlic cream sauce, and bake until golden and bubbling. Each roll is creamy, cheesy, and loaded with shrimp, crab, and flavor — no slicing needed.

Perfect for date nights, dinner parties, or whenever you want a more refined seafood pasta bake.

Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

Seafood Filling

• ¾ lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
• ½ lb lump crabmeat (drained and picked over)
• 2 tbsp butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Juice of ½ lemon
• Salt and pepper

Ricotta Mixture

• 1½ cups whole milk ricotta
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or chives
• Salt and pepper

White Sauce (Garlic Béchamel)

• 4 tbsp butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups warm whole milk
• ½ cup grated Parmesan
• Salt, white pepper, and pinch of nutmeg

Lasagna & Cheese

• 9–12 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella
• Extra Parmesan and herbs for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Seafood Filling

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 30–60 seconds. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook 2–3 minutes until just pink. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, then fold in crab. Let cool slightly.

Step 2: Mix Ricotta Layer

In a bowl, combine ricotta, egg, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooled seafood mixture until evenly combined.

Step 3: Make the Garlic White Sauce

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Whisk in flour and cook 1–2 minutes. Slowly whisk in warm milk. Simmer until thickened (5–7 minutes). Stir in Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper.

Step 4: Assemble the Rolls

Lay out cooked lasagna noodles. Spread a few tablespoons of seafood-ricotta mixture along each, then roll tightly. Arrange seam-side down in a greased 9×13″ baking dish. Pour garlic white sauce over the top and sprinkle with mozzarella and extra Parmesan.

Step 5: Bake

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 10–15 more minutes until bubbly and golden. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Step 6: Serve

Garnish with parsley, chives, or a squeeze of lemon. Serve hot with crusty bread or a citrusy green salad.

Flavor Variations

• Add chopped spinach or sautéed leeks to the filling
• Swap in scallops or lobster for extra luxe
• Use lemon zest or a spoonful of pesto in the sauce for brightness
• Layer a spoonful of tomato cream or roasted red pepper sauce under each roll for contrast
• Add a sprinkle of crispy breadcrumbs on top before baking for crunch

Pro Tips

• Don’t overfill the rolls — they should be snug, not bursting
• Let the seafood cool slightly before mixing with ricotta to avoid curdling
• Keep sauce on the looser side — it thickens more in the oven
• Arrange rolls with a little space between to allow sauce to flow
• Broil the top for 2 minutes at the end for extra golden cheese

Final Thoughts

Garlic Butter Seafood Lasagna Rolls are creamy, elegant, and seafood-forward — all the richness of a white lasagna in neat, rolled portions. It’s coastal comfort, rolled and baked to bubbly perfection.

Butter it. Roll it. Bake it golden. 🧄🦐🦀🔥
