Step-by-Step Preparation – Guided by Chef André
Preparing the noodles
Cook lasagna noodles until just al dente. Lay them flat on parchment to prevent sticking.
Cooking the shrimp
Sauté shrimp briefly with butter and garlic until just pink. Do not overcook — they’ll finish baking in the oven.
Mixing the filling
Chop shrimp and combine with Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Rolling and assembling
Spread filling onto each noodle, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Spoon extra Alfredo sauce on top and finish with more cheese.
Baking
Bake until bubbly and golden, letting the cheese melt beautifully over the rolls.
