# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Flip the oven on to 375 F (190 C) so it’s hot and ready to go.
02 -
Drop some garlic butter sauce at the bottom of your baking dish, then set down a layer of noodles. Next, dollop more sauce, then shrimp, sprinkle on mozzarella, and just keep repeating. When all your goodies are stacked, finish off with extra sauce and mozzarella right on top.
03 -
Cover the pan with foil and let it cook for 25 minutes first. After that, peel off the foil and bake it 10 more minutes so the cheese gets a golden top and bubbles up.
04 -
Once it’s out of the oven, let it sit a bit so it’s easier to slice. Toss on some parsley to make it pop and serve.
05 -
Boil water with a good bit of salt, toss in lasagna noodles, and cook till they’re flexible. Drain the noodles and leave them off to the side for now.
06 -
In a big skillet, toss in half a stick of butter on medium heat and melt it. Add in the garlic and let it cook till you can smell it, about a minute or so. Toss in your shrimp and cook both sides till they’re pink and done, then get them out and set aside.
07 -
Still in your skillet, melt the other half-stick of butter, drop in more garlic, and cook till it starts smelling great. Should only take a minute or two.
08 -
Sprinkle in all the flour and stir like mad for a minute. You want it all mixed up with no dry spots left.
09 -
Pour milk in slowly, whisking lots so it stays smooth. Keep cooking and stirring till it thickens up. Pull it off the heat and stir in parmesan so it’s all melted, then salt and pepper it to taste.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
You can use the no-boil lasagna noodles instead and just layer them right in—skip the boiling.
02 -
If you like some heat, tossing in a pinch of red pepper to your garlic butter will give it a little zing.
03 -
Taste the sauce as you go, and adjust how salty or cheesy you want things.
