shrimp scampi seafood lasagna

A creamy shrimp scampi lasagna featuring shrimp, veggies, and plenty of melted cheese. A hit at family parties!

My favorite way to prepare this meal is to layer the ingredients in a pan on the weekend (or during the weekdays) and bake at night whenever it works best for our family. That’s what makes it so simple. Well, that and the yummy shrimp from SeaPak. Just heat them up and toss them in for a fresh coastal taste of seafood.
