Ingredients
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 white onion diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper diced
- 2 celery ribs diced
- 6 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Cheese
- 4 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces shredded pepper jack cheese
- 4 ounces shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 16 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
Shrimp
- 1 pound raw shrimp tails removed
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 1 pound Oven ready Lasagna Pasta
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add in onion, bell pepper, and celery. Saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add in garlic and cajun seasoning. Toast 1 minute. Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 10 to 15 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cheddar, jack, and mozzarella cheese. Toss to combine. In another mixing bowl, combine ricotta, parmesan, eggs, cajun seasoning, and a handful of the shredded cheese mixture. Stir well to combine.
- Chop the shrimp so that it is in small pieces. Transfer to a mixing bowl and toss with cajun seasoning.
- Assemble lasagna: spread a large spoonful of sauce to cover the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13 pan. Create a layer of the lasagna noodles, overlapping each noodle about 1 inch. Cover with 1/3 of the sauce. Spread half of the ricotta mixture on top. Top with half of the shrimp, and a handful of the shredded cheese. Repeat, creating another layer of noodles, sauce, ricotta, shrimp, and cheese. Top with a final layer of noodles, the remainder of the sauce, and the remainder of the shredded cheese.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake in a 375 degree oven for 40 minutes. Remove foil and cook another 20 minutes until cheese is hot and bubbling.
