What Kind of Pasta Should I Use for Shrimp Crab Roll Ups?

Lasagna noodles are perfect here. Their flat, wide shape makes them easy to roll once softened. Just be sure not to overcook them, or they may tear while rolling. You want them al dente so they hold shape but are flexible enough to wrap around that rich seafood mixture.

Ingredients for the Shrimp Crab Alfredo Roll Ups

This recipe brings together fresh seafood and classic creamy flavors. Each ingredient has a specific purpose in building a comforting and luxurious dish.

• Lasagna noodles: These form the base of the roll ups. You’ll want them just-tender for easy rolling.
• Cooked shrimp: Peeled, deveined, and chopped into bite-size pieces. Adds a sweet, briny flavor.
• Crab meat: Choose real lump crab meat if possible. It adds richness and texture.
• Ricotta cheese: Creamy and mild, it balances the seafood.
• Mozzarella cheese: For gooey, melty goodness on top and inside the roll ups.
• Parmesan cheese: Gives depth and saltiness to the Alfredo sauce.
• Garlic: Essential for aromatics and flavor in the sauce.
• Butter: Used as the base of the Alfredo to create a silky texture.
• Heavy cream: Makes the sauce rich and velvety.
• Parsley: For freshness and a pop of green at the end.
• Salt and pepper: To season every layer of the dish.

How To Make the Shrimp Crab Alfredo Roll Ups

Step 1: Prep the Noodles

Boil the lasagna noodles in salted water until just al dente. Drain and lay them flat on parchment paper so they don’t stick.

Step 2: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a low simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Let it cook until slightly thickened, then set aside.

Step 3: Mix the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cooked shrimp, crab meat, half the mozzarella, some chopped parsley, and a few spoonfuls of the Alfredo sauce. Mix well.

Step 4: Assemble the Roll Ups

Spread a spoonful of the filling onto each lasagna noodle, then carefully roll them up. Place each roll seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

Step 5: Add Sauce and Cheese

Pour the Alfredo sauce over the top of the roll ups. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and extra Parmesan for a golden top.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned.

How to Serve and Store Shrimp Crab Alfredo Roll Ups

These roll ups serve beautifully straight from the oven with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and maybe a lemon wedge on the side. Each pan feeds about 4 to 6 people, depending on serving size, making it a great option for family dinners or small gatherings.

Leftovers store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. You can also freeze them individually, making weeknight dinners quick and easy. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through.
