Directions

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)

Season the shrimp with lemon juice and salt and put aside.
Dissolve the broth cubes on the hot water.
Heat the olive oil in a pan, sauté the onion and garlic, add the tomato sauce, the tomatoes, the water and let it cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat.
Finally, add the seasoned shrimp, parsley, salt and black pepper to taste, mix and leave for another 5 minutes and than put aside.
For the sauce, in another pan, heat the butter and the flour, pour the milk all at once and stir constantly to keep it from sticking until it thickens.
Season the sauce with the nutmeg, salt and the pepper (to taste) and set aside.
In a oven friendly casserole dish, place a layer of white sauce, one of pasta, one of shrimp with sauce, one of mozzarella cheese, repeat the process and end it with a layer of white sauce on top.
Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and bake in preheated oven at 200°C or 400°F for about 20 minutes.

Recipe Tips

•

To ensure the shrimp remain tender and flavorful, marinate them in the lemon juice and a pinch of salt for 15-20 minutes before cooking. This helps to infuse flavor and prevent the shrimp from becoming rubbery during the cooking process.

•

When preparing the sauce, make sure to cook the flour in the butter for at least 1-2 minutes before adding milk. This will help eliminate the raw flour taste and create a smoother sauce. Also, whisk continuously to prevent lumps.

•

A common mistake is overcooking the lasagna noodles. If using traditional lasagna noodles, it's best to boil them for only 3-4 minutes until slightly softened before layering, as they will continue to cook in the oven. Alternatively, consider using no-boil lasagna noodles for convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I substitute for shrimp if I have seafood allergies?

You can substitute the shrimp with cooked chicken, crab meat, or even a mix of vegetables like zucchini and spinach to make a delicious vegetarian version.

How should I store leftover lasagna?

Store leftover lasagna in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage, up to 2-3 months. Just be sure to wrap it tightly to prevent freezer burn.

What should I do if my cheese is not melting properly?

If your cheese is not melting properly, check the type of cheese used. Mozzarella should melt well, but if you're using pre-shredded cheese, it may contain anti-caking agents that prevent melting. You can try using fresh mozzarella or shredding your own cheese.

Recommended Drink Pairings

Wine

Portuguese: Vinho Verde - This refreshing and slightly effervescent wine complements the shrimp's lightness and the dish's creamy textures.

General: Sauvignon Blanc - The crisp acidity and citrus notes of Sauvignon Blanc enhance the flavors of shrimp and lemon in the lasagna.

Beer

Portuguese: Sagres Lager - A light and crisp lager that balances the richness of the lasagna while refreshing the palate.

General: Pilsner - This clean and refreshing beer style pairs well with seafood dishes, cutting through the richness of the cheese and cream.

Other Beverages

Lemonade: A tangy and refreshing choice that highlights the lemon and complements the shrimp's flavors in the lasagna.
