Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the lasagna sheets according to package directions until al dente, drain, and lay them flat on a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Shrimp and Cheese Filling Prep
  1. Pat the shrimp dry and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Add minced garlic and lemon zest, cooking for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then roughly chop the shrimp.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, heavy cream (or Greek yogurt), chopped parsley, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
  4. Gently fold the chopped shrimp into the cheese mixture.
Assemble the Roll-Ups
  1. Spread about ½ cup of marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish.
  2. Lay a cooked lasagna sheet flat. Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of the shrimp and cheese filling evenly over the entire surface.
  3. Starting from one short end, carefully roll up the lasagna sheet. Place the roll-up seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Repeat with the remaining lasagna sheets and filling. Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the roll-ups.
Bake and Serve
  1. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  2. Let the lasagna roll-ups rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine to the shrimp while cooking. If you don't have fresh basil, dried oregano can be sprinkled on top for a similar aromatic touch. Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
