  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Cook lasagna sheets in water with a splash of liquid crab boil until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Toss shrimp and crab with Creole seasoning.
  3. Sauté spinach in olive oil with a pinch of salt until wilted. Set aside.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic. Stir in flour, then add chicken stock and half & half. Whisk until thickened.

  6. In a bowl, combine garlic & herb cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, and basil. Mix well.
  7. Grease a 12″×16″ baking dish. Spread a thin layer of sauce, then layer noodles, creamy filling, seafood/spinach mixture, shredded cheeses, and more sauce. Repeat layers three times.
  8. Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes. Broil for 3–5 minutes until top is golden.
  9. Sprinkle with basil and let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use no-boil noodles for quicker prep.
  • Substitute heavy cream and milk if half & half is unavailable.
  • Halve ingredients for a smaller 8×8 pan.
  • Use plain cream cheese with garlic and herbs if flavored isn’t available.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze before baking.
