SHRIMP LASAGNA ROLLS WITH CREAMY MARINARA



Shrimp Lasagna Rolls with Creamy Marinara image

Categories     Sauce     Side     Bake     Shrimp     Boil

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound lasagna
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 (15-ounce) containers whole-milk ricotta cheese
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3 cups marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade; see page 224)
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese (about 5 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and partially cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and the garlic to the pan and sauté until the shrimp are cooked, about 4 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat and let cool. Coarsely chop the cooled shrimp and place in a large bowl with 2 cups of the ricotta cheese (one container and about one-third of the other), the Parmesan cheese, eggs, basil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and the nutmeg. Stir to combine.
  • In another bowl, combine the marinara sauce with the remaining 1 cup of ricotta cheese and stir to combine.
  • To make the lasagna, cover the bottom of a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish with 1 cup of the marinara mixture. Lay four noodles flat on a dry work surface. Spread about 1/4 cup of the shrimp mixture evenly over each noodle. Roll up and place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat twice more to make 12 lasagna rolls. Drizzle the rolls with the remaining marinara mixture and top with grated mozzarella. Bake until the lasagna rolls are heated through and the cheese is beginning to brown, about 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh shrimp, frozen shrimp will work, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Cook the shrimp until it is pink and opaque, but not rubbery.
  • Use a good quality marinara sauce: The marinara sauce is the base of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Add your own vegetables: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to this dish. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini.
  • Serve over pasta: Shrimp marinara is traditionally served over pasta, but you can also serve it over rice or quinoa.

Conclusion:

Shrimp marinara is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. With its flavorful sauce and tender shrimp, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
