Craving something creamy, rich, and filled with seafood comfort? Shrimp Crab Alfredo Roll Ups might just be your next dinner favorite. These roll ups take everything you love about a classic Alfredo pasta and wrap it up into a warm, cheesy, oven-baked dish.

Imagine tender pasta sheets rolled with a juicy blend of shrimp and crab, then smothered in a velvety Alfredo sauce and baked until bubbly and golden. It’s a dish that feels indulgent, yet totally achievable, whether you’re cooking to impress or just indulging in a cozy seafood night.

Preparation Phase & Tools to Use

Before diving into these luxurious roll ups, it’s best to set yourself up for success with the right tools:

Large Pot: Essential for boiling the lasagna noodles evenly without crowding.
Mixing Bowls: You’ll need a few sizes to combine the seafood filling and prepare your Alfredo sauce.
Skillet or Sauté Pan: For sautéing the shrimp and gently cooking the crab mixture.
9×13 Baking Dish: This will hold your rolled pasta snugly, allowing the Alfredo to bake and bubble around each roll.
Spatula or Spoon: A silicone spatula works best for folding delicate seafood and scraping the sauce cleanly.
Aluminum Foil: Use this to cover the baking dish for the first half of baking to prevent over-browning.

Having these on hand ensures your process flows smoothly and the final result bakes perfectly.

Ingredients for the Shrimp Crab Alfredo Roll Ups

Each ingredient in this dish plays a key role in delivering its rich, coastal flavor and satisfying texture:

Lasagna Noodles: The backbone of the roll-ups, these wide noodles provide the structure to hold all that creamy seafood filling.
Shrimp (peeled and deveined): Sweet, tender shrimp add a luxurious bite and pair beautifully with the Alfredo.
Crab Meat (lump or imitation): Adds a delicate seafood sweetness and texture to the filling. Use fresh if possible for best flavor.
Ricotta Cheese: This creamy base helps bind the filling and gives it a rich, soft consistency.
Mozzarella Cheese: Melts beautifully on top and inside the rolls for that signature cheesy pull.
Parmesan Cheese: Brings a nutty, salty edge that enhances the Alfredo and balances the seafood.
Heavy Cream: The rich base for your Alfredo, delivering that silky sauce consistency.
Garlic (minced): Adds depth and aroma that complements the seafood.
Butter: Used to sauté the garlic and start your Alfredo sauce on a flavorful note.
Parsley (chopped): For a fresh, herby finish both in the filling and sprinkled on top.
Salt & Pepper: To season each layer to taste and round out all the flavors.

How To Make the Shrimp Crab Alfredo Roll Ups

Step 1: Boil and Prep the Noodles

Boil the lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Seafood Filling

In a skillet, melt some butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add chopped shrimp and cook until just pink. Stir in the crab and remove from heat. In a bowl, combine with ricotta, a handful of mozzarella, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic. Pour in the heavy cream, bring to a simmer, and stir in parmesan until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer gently until thickened.

Step 4: Roll and Assemble

Spoon the seafood mixture along each noodle and gently roll them up. Place seam-side down in a greased 9×13 baking dish. Pour Alfredo sauce generously over the top, then sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan.

Step 5: Bake Until Golden

Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10 minutes until the top is bubbling and slightly golden. Garnish with parsley before serving.

How to Serve and Store Shrimp Crab Alfredo Roll Ups

Serve these roll ups hot straight from the oven, where the Alfredo is still bubbling and the cheese is golden. They pair beautifully with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. A slice of warm, crusty bread is perfect for soaking up the extra Alfredo sauce.

To store leftovers, let the dish cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions wrapped tightly in foil and stored in a freezer bag for up to a month. Reheat in the oven at 350°F, covered, until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen shrimp?

Yes, just make sure to thaw them completely and pat dry before cooking to avoid excess moisture in the filling.

What kind of crab meat works best?

Lump crab meat gives the best flavor and texture, but imitation crab can be used for a budget-friendly version.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely. Assemble the roll ups a day in advance, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.

What can I substitute for ricotta?

Cottage cheese or a mix of cream cheese and sour cream can work in a pinch, though it may alter the texture slightly.

Can I add vegetables to the filling?

Yes, spinach or finely chopped bell peppers are great additions. Just be sure to sauté them first to remove excess moisture.

Is it gluten-free?

Not as written, but you can use gluten-free lasagna noodles and ensure your Alfredo sauce ingredients are gluten-free.
