Instructions
- Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk and heavy cream until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened.

- Spread one-third of the remaining shrimp and crab sauce mixture over the noodles.
- Sprinkle with one-third of the mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat layers two more times, ending with mozzarella cheese on top.
- Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For lump crab meat, gently break it apart if needed.
- Ensure the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon before adding seafood.
- If you prefer a lighter sauce, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
