Coastal Keto Lasagna with Zucchini & Ricotta

Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchinis, sliced lengthwise into thin ribbons
• 1 lb ground shrimp (or finely chopped scallops for that coastal flair)
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 1 cup crushed San Marzano tomatoes, no sugar added
• 1 TBS olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend
• Fresh basil leaves, chopped, 1/4 cup
• Fresh lemon zest, 1 tsp
• Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab a 9x9 inch baking dish and lightly grease it with olive oil.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the ground shrimp, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until just opaque, about 4 minutes. Season with Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and oregano.
3. Pour in crushed tomatoes, stir, and simmer for 5 minutes to marry flavors. Remove from heat and mix in fresh basil and lemon zest. This sauce’s got that coastal punch, like a seaside breeze in your mouth.
4. While sauce simmers, lay out zucchini ribbons on paper towels and sprinkle with a pinch of Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend to draw out moisture. Let sit for 10 minutes, then gently pat dry to avoid soggy layers.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta, half the Parmesan, and a pinch of black pepper. This is the creamy glue holding our masterpiece together.
6. Now, layer time: Spread a thin coat of sauce on the bottom of the dish. Layer zucchini ribbons to cover, then dollop ricotta mixture, sprinkle mozzarella, and ladle more sauce. Repeat layering 3 times, finishing with mozzarella and remaining Parmesan on top.
7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes to get that bubbly, golden cheese crust. Let it rest 10 minutes before slicing. Like we say, patience is a virtue—especially with lasagna.
8. Serve with fresh basil garnish and a little extra Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend if you’re feeling fancy.
