Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Mix in oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes.
Pour in seafood stock and simmer for 3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in heavy cream and cook 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Add lobster meat and shrimp to the sauce. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until shrimp turn pink and reach 145°F internally. Season with salt and black pepper, then remove from heat.
Spread a thin layer of sauce in the baking dish. Arrange three cooked lasagna noodles on top.
Add a layer of the seafood mixture, followed by spoonfuls of ricotta and a sprinkle of mozzarella.
Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with a layer of sauce.
Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, then sprinkle with parsley.
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 minutes longer until golden and bubbly.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving to set the layers.

Notes

Use pre-cooked lobster meat for convenience.
Ensure shrimp are fully cooked through before assembling.
Resting time is important for the lasagna structure.
