Seafood Lasagna

1 green onion, finely chopped
2 T. vegetable oil
2 T. plus 1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. chicken broth
1-8 oz. bottle clam juice
1 lb. bay scallops
1 lb. uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
1-8oz. pkg. imitation crabmeat, chopped
1/4 t. white pepper, divided
1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. milk
1/2 t. salt
1 c. whipping cream,
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese, divided
9 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained

In a large skillet, saute onion in oil and 2 T. butter until tender. Stir in broth and clam juice; bring to a boil. Add the scallops, shrimp, crab and 1/8 t. pepper, return to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer uncovered for 4-5 min. or until shrimp turn pink and scallops are firm and opaque, stirring gently. Drain, reserving cooking liquid; set seafood mixture aside.

In a saucepan, melt remaining butter, stir in flour until smooth. Combine milk and reserved cooking liquid; gradually add to the saucepan. Add salt and remaining pepper. Bring to a boil; cook and stir constantly for 2 min. or until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in cream and 1/4 c. Parmesan. Stir in 3/4 c. white sauce into seafood mixture.

Spread 1/2 c. white sauce into 9 x 13″ baking pan. Top with 3 noodles; spread half of seafood on top with 1 1/4 c. white sauce. Repeat layers. Top with remaining noodles and sauce; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 min. or until golden brown. Let stand 15 min. before serving.
