Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1 cup cooked crab meat, shredded
- 1/2 cup scallions, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, salt, and pepper until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of the crepe batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another minute. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, scallions, mozzarella cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- For the Béchamel sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Add salt, nutmeg, and Parmesan cheese, stirring until smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. To assemble, place a generous spoonful of the seafood filling in the center of each crepe. Fold the crepe over the filling and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Pour the Béchamel sauce over the filled crepes, ensuring they are well covered. Bake for 20-25 minutes until heated through and bubbly.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seafood filling or the Béchamel sauce.
- Substitute the seafood with sautéed mushrooms and spinach for a vegetarian option.
