SEAFOOD LASAGNA
Excellent seafood flavor - scallops, shrimp, and crab with just the right amount of creamy sauce. I can never have just one serving of this. I think the clam juice is what gives the sauce such a good flavor. I use precooked shrimp so I don't have to cook them with the scallops at all. I always add extra Parmesan cheese (the real shredded kind, not the powdery grated kind) to the sauce and on top. You can use either white pepper or black pepper.

I've made this on several occasions, with rave reviews and always someone asking for the recipe. Uses whipping cream instead of cottage cheese,with the result of a wonderful, creamy sauce. You can use any seafood to your preference. From the Taste of Home magazine.

Tips:

- Cook the seafood properly. Seafood is delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook it until it is just opaque and flaky.
- Use a variety of seafood. Don't just use one type of seafood in your lasagna. Use a variety of seafood, such as shrimp, scallops, lobster, and crab, to create a more flavorful and interesting dish.
- Make sure the lasagna is cooked through. The lasagna should be cooked until the noodles are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest before serving. Let the lasagna rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the lasagna to set.
