Directions

2. Prepare the Seafood Mixture: In a spacious skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
   Sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add shrimp, scallops, and crab meat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until
   shrimp turn pink and scallops are opaque (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside.
3. Make the Béchamel Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and
   cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly
   until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Lasagna: Spread a thin layer of béchamel sauce in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
   Layer with 3 lasagna noodles, half of the seafood mixture, ricotta dollops, a sprinkle of Parmesan, and a layer
   of mozzarella. Repeat layers, ending with a top layer of noodles, remaining béchamel, Parmesan, and mozzarella.
5. Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top. Allow the lasagna to
   stand for 10 minutes before serving.
6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
