Seafood Lasagna with Taragon

"This is Divine. Seafood smothered in creamed sauce and layered with pasta--makes a great dish for company. This can be made in advance and frozen. Bake frozen covered 40 minutes then uncover and bake about another 40 minutes, until hot and bubbly. The recipe comes from Betty Crocker."

  1. My husband loved this dish and it cooked up very nicely. I used fresh shrimp as well as scallops in a layer and made the standard spinach/ricotta middle layer in order to get a bit of veggie and color. Delish!
     
  2. This is wonderful and quite a treat. I cut the recipe in half. I added 10 oz. of frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed, 1/4 c sun dried tomatoes, Old Bay seasoning and I did put in the 1 c of cottage cheese. I didn't have lasagna noodles so I used 1 and 1/3 c small pasta, uncooked. Instead of canned shrimp, I used 1 Lb. of large shrimp uncooked, cut into 1/3s. I omitted the capers and tarragon. I cooked it in a 8x8 pan . It bubbled over some so next time I'll use a bigger pan. This is our new favoriate seafood recipe.
     
  3. I added fresh shrimp and imitation crab meat to this, and also Old Bay Seasoning. I cooked it the night before and heated it up in the oven the next day. I got many requests for the recipe. I mixed the shrimp, crab, cottage cheese (to which I added a little grated parmesan cheese). I then layered with sauce, noodles, cottage cheese mixture, etc.
     
  4. Excellent. I made a couple of changes in that I used a combination of frozen scallops and shrimp instead of canned shrimp. I sauted the shrimp and crab very briefly before adding it to the casserole ( 1 1/2 minutes) I used imitation crab ( the pollock stuff) instead of canned crab. I also added 1 chopped roasted red pepper to the seafood layer for a little added colour. It is rich, but very good. I am keeping it. Thanks. Barb!
     
  5. Very good!! My husband said that this is a keeper!! I did cook the lasagna first since it usually doesn't seem to cook evenly if it's raw. So it turned out kinda soupy. Next time I'll half the broth and milk. I think that I'll also add some chopped sun-dried tomato. For some reason, I think that lasagna needs some tomato taste to it. Very good though!!
