Notes
Storage: Allow the Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Lasagna to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing individual portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months.
Reheating: To reheat the lasagna, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the dish with foil to retain moisture and heat for 25-30 minutes, or until warmed through. If reheating individual portions, a microwave can be used, heating on medium power in 1-minute intervals until hot.
Serving: Garnish the Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Lasagna with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor. This dish pairs well with a simple green salad and a glass of white wine for a complete meal.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter shrimp while cooking. This will give your lasagna a subtle kick that complements the richness of the cheeses and the sweetness of the shrimp.
