Seafood Tortilla Lasagna

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 40 min. Bake: 30 min. + standing YIELD: 12 servings.
My husband and I enjoy lasagna, seafood and Mexican fare. One evening, I combined all three into this deliciously different entree. It certainly is a tempting, memorable change of pace from traditional Italian-style lasagnas. —Sharon Sawicki, Carol Stream, Illinois

Ingredients

  • 1 jar (20 ounces) picante sauce
  • 1-1/2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 to 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 15 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed
  • 1 package (16 ounces) imitation crabmeat, flaked
  • 3 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
  • Sour cream and minced fresh cilantro, optional

Directions

  • 1. Place picante sauce in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Set aside. In a large skillet cook shrimp and cayenne in oil for about 3 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove and set aside.
