Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent. Then, stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute until fragrant, ensuring the garlic doesn't brown and impart bitterness.
  2. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, and ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Stir well and let the herbs bloom for about 1 minute before adding ¼ cup of white wine. Simmer until the wine reduces by half, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Pour in 2 cups of heavy cream and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally..
  4. Introduce 1 ½ cups of cooked lobster meat and 1 ½ cups of peeled and deveined shrimp to the creamy mixture. Heat through for about 3 minutes, and season with ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  6. Layer three cooked lasagna noodles at the bottom of the dish, top with seafood mixture, dollops of 2 cups of ricotta cheese, and a sprinkle of 1 ½ cups of shredded mozzarella. Repeat twice, finishing with seafood mixture and remaining cheeses.
  7. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until a golden crust forms.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with ¼ cup of chopped parsley.
