Instructions
Prepare the lobster: Boil the lobster in salted water for about 15-20 minutes until cooked. Once done, let it cool, then remove the meat and chop into bite-sized pieces.
Cook the shrimp: In a skillet, sauté the shrimp in a bit of olive oil and minced garlic over medium heat until they turn pink. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Make the béchamel sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for a minute. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix the ricotta filling: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped basil, and half of the grated parmesan. Fold in the lobster and shrimp, and season to taste.
Assemble the lasagna: In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of béchamel on the bottom. Layer lasagna noodles over it, then spread half of the seafood mixture, followed by another layer of béchamel and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Repeat the layers and finish with noodles, béchamel, and the remaining mozzarella.
Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the lasagna for 30-40 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
Let it rest: Allow the lasagna to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps it hold its shape.
