I made this recipe for my son's family birthday party. The whole family went wild over it. It was not heavy or ultra rich, just very tasty. I made it exactly as written except I used scallop pieces instead of crabmeat, and I sauteed the shrimp and scallops with a scallion and some garlic. It was easier than any other seafood lasagna recipe I looked at. I will definitely make this again. -
A completely delicious recipe. I used ready-cook lasagna noodles with no problem. Also, since I had no 9x13 baking pan, I used two loaf pans for a deep-dish version. It was a little watery/leaky when freshly made, but was absolutely perfect as leftovers the next day.
