This rich satisfying dish, adapted from a recipe given to me by a friend, is my husband's favorite. I usually serve it on his birthday. It's loaded with scallops, shrimp and crab in a creamy sauce. I consider this the "crown jewel" in my repertoire of recipes. —Elena Hansen, Ruidoso, New Mexico

Tip

Scallops

A member of the bivalve mollusk family, scallops are commonly found in two groups---the sea scallop, yielding 10-20 per pound, or the much smaller bay scallop, yielding 60-90 per pound. Scallops are usually available shucked, sold fresh or frozen and range in color from pale beige to creamy pink. Scallops can be broiled, grilled, pan-fried or deep-fried and cook in a matter of minutes.

Full-Bodied White Wine

This recipe was horrible! I cannot understand how so many reviewers rated it so high. I will definitely NOT be making this again.

I made this for Christmas dinner based on the reviews submitted and ended up having to throw the entire casserole out after tasting it! It was gross...very "fishy" and bland. The clam juice and crabmeat were overpowering (I used backfin). I can't imagine anyone enjoying this recipe.

This was a bit time consuming...but well worth it. It is very rich so you won't eat much but it is just as good re-warmed for another meal.I have made this recipe several times and will make it many times more.

agree with most of the reviews- definitely an excellent recipe. used 1/2 & 1/2 instead of cream- still very rich and creamy. also, used the clam juice from a can of chopped clams, and used the clams instead of the crabmeat. added some minced garlic, extra green onion, and extra parmesan cheese. looking forward to the leftovers!

This is one of the best Lasagna's I've ever eatened.

Re: To Summy, the one thing about you - you're consistent, your consistantly giving bad reviews. You said it was too rich and had to throw away? I don't believe you threw something this expensive away. Next time give it to the poor or someone that needs it. If you read the recipe before making it you would of know with cream, etc.. was going to be on the rich side. Or like other veiwers, they knew to modify it to their liking. Please grow up and reconsider making bad reviews before publishing them. Were tired of reading them, thank you!
