Ingredients
2 340-g pkgs fresh or frozen peeled cooked shrimp
3 cups tomato sauce
1/2 cup 35% cream
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
475-g container extra-smooth ricotta, about 2 cups
1 tsp dried dill
3 cups grated mozzarella
1 cup grated parmesan
12 to 15 oven ready lasagna sheets
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F (180C). If using frozen shrimp, place in a sieve and rinse under cold running water to remove any ice crystals. Pat dry with paper towels. Remove and discard shrimp tails. In a bowl, stir pasta sauce with cream, basil and oregano. Taste and add more seasonings, if needed.
In a small bowl, stir ricotta with dill. Grate cheeses, then stir together. Spread about 1/2 cup (125 mL) tomato mixture to barely cover bottom of a 9x13-in (3-L) baking dish. Top with 3 to 5 noodles. (It's okay to break some to fit. Just don't overlap them.) Spread with half of ricotta mixture. Cover with 1/3 of tomato mixture. Scatter half of shrimp overtop, then 1/3 of grated cheese. Top with 3 to 5 noodles, remaining ricotta mixture, 1/2 of remaining tomato mixture, remaining shrimp and 1/2 of remaining cheese. Finish with a layer of noodles, remaining tomato mixture and remaining cheese.
Bake, uncovered, in centre of oven until sauce is very bubbly around edges, 50 to 60 min. Let stand 10 min before serving.
