Shrimp Scampi Lasagna Rolls

October 8, 2014 5 Comments

Turning lasagna noodles into perfect little roll ups has definitely become my absolute favorite way to serve lasagna. There is no cutting needed and it makes portioning it out much less of a chore. Entertaining could not be easier with a tray of lasagna rolls and I make it for company quite often. You can find my wonderful meaty version here! My other favorite version to make are these sensational shrimp scampi lasagna rolls. They’re a little more luxurious and fancy than the meaty version but are just as easy to make.

The star of the shrimp scampi lasagna rolls, succulent shrimp scampi!
The star of the shrimp scampi lasagna rolls was definitely succulent shrimp scampi. I cooked my shrimp in lots of butter and garlic to give them loads of flavor. Shrimp is my favorite protein in the world, so just cooking it on its own made me excited for this dish.

The luscious filling for the shrimp scampi lasagna rolls was really simple to make after that. I just stirred the shrimp scampi into a whole bunch of cheese, seasoning and an egg to hold it all together.

I tackled the creamy marinara sauce for the shrimp scampi lasagna rolls next. I just stirred ricotta into a bunch of marinara sauce to give it extra oomph and that lovely, creamy texture. It was perfect for layering underneath and on top of the lasagna rolls.

After that, it was time to assemble the shrimp scampi lasagna rolls. I laid out my boiled lasagna noodles before they could stick together on a clean surface. Then I spread about 1/4 cup of the filling down the length of the noodles and rolled them up.

Finally, I lovingly tucked the lasagna rolls into my baking dish and blanketed them in more marinara and mozzarella. The tray of shrimp scampi lasagna rolls was all prepared! Now, I covered this tray and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight. It developed more flavor and I didn’t have to cook right before company came.

The next day, I only had to put it in the oven! I loved not having to stress about dinner before we had guests. The tray of shrimp scampi lasagna rolls looked all bubbly and golden right out of the oven too.

Once the shrimp scampi lasagna rolls are out of the oven, let them cool and set for a couple of minutes. Then just scoop two or three rolls out per person, depending on how hungry your crowd is. That’s the other great thing about this dish, it can easily feed 6 to 9 people! Enjoy the fun times with friends and a great make ahead meal. xoxo

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 dash truffle infused olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled and finely minced
  • 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined, tails removed
  • 1 pinch truffle sea salt plus an additional pinch for more seasoning
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper plus an additional pinch for more seasoning
  • 1 whole lemon juiced
  • 2 containers ricotta cheese 15 oz size
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon mascarpone cheese
  • 1 whole egg
  • 3 cups marinara sauce homemade or jarred
  • 1 pound dry lasagna noodles (18 are needed, there are usually 19 in a box)
  • 1 bag shredded mozzarella cheese 8 oz size
Instructions
  1. Get a large pot of salted water on the stove to boil for the lasagna noodles. On another burner, heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, Add the garlic and let it get fragrant for 30 seconds. The shrimp goes in next, then the seasoning of salt and crushed red pepper. Lastly, the lemon juice goes in. Stir everything together and let it gently cook until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Take the pan off of the heat and set it aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add one container of the ricotta and 2/3 of the second container. Then add the mascarpone, parmesan, the additional pinches of salt and crushed red pepper, and the egg. Drain the liquid from the pan of shrimp into the bowl. Take the shrimp and roughly chop them into small pieces and get them into the bowl as well. Stir the filling mixture together thoroughly.
  3. The water should be boiling at this point, cook the lasagna noodles in it until just tender for about 8 minutes. While they cook combine the remaining 1/3 of the container of ricotta with the marinara sauce to make a creamy marinara. Get out your favorite lasagna pan and grease it lightly on the bottom with a few spoonfuls of the marinara, Depending on the size of the lasagna pan, you may need two prepared to hold all 18 roll ups.
  4. Drain the lasagna noodles when they are done. As soon as they are cool enough to handle, quickly separate them before they start to stick and lay them out on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 cup of the shrimp filling on to each noodle, then roll them up and get them into the prepared pans.
  5. Pour the remaining creamy marinara sauce evenly over the lasagna rolls, then top everything off with a generous layer of shredded mozzarella. Ideally, cover the tray and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.
  6. When you are ready to cook the lasagna rolls, pre-heat the oven to 350. Get the tray into the oven and bake the lasagna rolls for 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and everything is bubbly.
  7. Take the tray out and let everything set for a couple of minutes. Then serve 2 to 3 rolls per person and enjoy!
