How to Make Cheesy Garlic Shrimp Lasagna Rolls
1. Cook the Lasagna Noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions until just tender. Drain and carefully lay them flat on a clean surface so they don’t stick together.
2. Cook the Garlic Shrimp
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped shrimp, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cook for about 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just cooked through.
Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley.
Let the shrimp cool slightly.
3. Make the Creamy Sauce
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook briefly.
Whisk in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds.
Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Remove from the heat.
4. Prepare the Cheesy Filling
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, ½ cup mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Fold in the cooked garlic shrimp until evenly distributed.
5. Roll the Lasagna
Spread a thin layer of the creamy sauce across the bottom of a baking dish.
Place a lasagna noodle flat on a clean surface.
Spread a generous layer of the shrimp and cheese mixture over the noodle.
Carefully roll it up from one end to the other.
Place the roll seam-side down in the baking dish.
Repeat with the remaining noodles and filling.
6. Add More Cheese
Pour the remaining creamy sauce over the lasagna rolls.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese generously over the top.
For an extra cheesy finish, add a little more Parmesan.
7. Bake Until Golden
Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly golden.
For an extra golden top, broil for 1–2 minutes while watching carefully.
8. Garnish and Serve
Let the lasagna rolls rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and a little extra Parmesan.
Serve warm and enjoy every creamy, cheesy bite!
Tips for Perfect Shrimp Lasagna Rolls
Don’t overcook the shrimp: They will continue cooking in the oven, so cook them only until just done in the skillet.
Don’t overfill the noodles: A moderate amount of filling makes the rolls easier to roll and keeps them from falling apart.
Use freshly grated Parmesan: It melts more smoothly and gives the sauce a richer flavor.
Let the rolls rest: A few minutes of resting helps the filling set and makes serving easier.
Easy Variations
Want to add even more flavor? Try mixing spinach into the cheese filling for a delicious vegetable boost.
For a spicy version, add crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic shrimp.
You can also add sautéed mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, or chopped roasted red peppers.
If you prefer a tomato-based dish, replace the creamy sauce with marinara and top it with mozzarella for a delicious seafood lasagna variation.
What to Serve With Shrimp Lasagna Rolls
These rich lasagna rolls pair perfectly with a simple green salad, roasted vegetables, garlic bread, or steamed broccoli.
A fresh lemon wedge on the side also adds a bright contrast to the creamy cheese and garlic flavors.
