Shrimp & Crab Alfredo Lasagna Roll-Ups

Shrimp & Crab Alfredo Lasagna Roll-Ups are one of my favorite ways to turn a classic comfort food into something elegant and seafood-inspired. Each roll is stuffed with a creamy mix of shrimp, crab, cheese, and herbs, then smothered in rich Alfredo sauce and baked until bubbly. It’s a dish that feels impressive but is surprisingly easy to put together—and perfect for when I want to treat myself or guests to something special.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how these lasagna roll-ups combine the richness of Alfredo with the delicate flavor of seafood. The rolls make serving easy and mess-free, and I like that I can prepare them ahead of time and bake when ready. The creamy sauce paired with the tender pasta and flavorful seafood filling creates a dish that’s hearty, comforting, and totally irresistible.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Lasagna noodles, cooked and drained

• Cooked shrimp, chopped

• Cooked crab meat (lump or imitation)

• Ricotta cheese

• Cream cheese, softened

• Mozzarella cheese, shredded

• Parmesan cheese, grated

• Egg

• Garlic, minced

• Fresh parsley, chopped

• Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

2. I cook the lasagna noodles until al dente, then rinse them with cool water and lay them flat on a clean surface.

3. In a bowl, I mix the ricotta, cream cheese, egg, half the mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.

4. I gently fold in the chopped shrimp and crab until well combined.

5. I spread a spoonful of the seafood filling over each noodle, then roll them up tightly.

6. I pour a layer of Alfredo sauce into the bottom of the baking dish and place the roll-ups seam-side down.

7. I spoon more Alfredo sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.

8. I cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 8–10 roll-ups, serving about 4 to 5 people. Prep time is around 25 minutes, and baking takes 35–40 minutes, so I usually have it ready in just over an hour.

Variations

Sometimes I swap the seafood for just shrimp or just crab, depending on what I have. I’ve also added spinach or sautéed mushrooms to the filling for extra flavor. If I want to lighten it up, I use cottage cheese instead of ricotta and go for a light Alfredo sauce. And for a bit of heat, I stir in some red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce.

Storage/reheating

Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days. I store them in an airtight container and reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or in the microwave in short intervals. They can also be frozen before baking—just assemble, wrap tightly, and bake straight from frozen, adding extra time.

FAQs

Can I use imitation crab meat?

Yes, I’ve used imitation crab meat many times—it’s affordable and works well in this recipe. Just make sure it’s chopped finely and evenly distributed in the filling.

What kind of shrimp should I use?

I usually go with small, peeled, and deveined cooked shrimp for convenience. If I’m using raw shrimp, I sauté them quickly before chopping and mixing into the filling.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely. I often assemble the roll-ups the night before, store them covered in the fridge, and bake the next day. It makes dinner prep super easy.

What Alfredo sauce works best?

Homemade is always great, but when I’m short on time, I use a high-quality store-bought Alfredo. I look for one that’s thick, creamy, and rich in flavor.

Can I freeze leftover roll-ups?

Yes, they freeze well either baked or unbaked. I wrap them tightly and store for up to 2 months. To reheat, I bake from frozen, covered, until hot all the way through.

Conclusion

Shrimp & Crab Alfredo Lasagna Roll-Ups are the kind of meal I love to make when I want to impress without a lot of stress. They’re rich, creamy, full of flavor, and feel just a little bit fancy. Whether I’m serving them for a special dinner or prepping ahead for a cozy weekend meal, they always deliver comfort and deliciousness in every bite.
