Delight in these delicious seafood crepes filled with shrimp, crab, and mushrooms, topped with a creamy Bechamel sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1 cup cooked crab meat, shredded
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • For the Bechamel Sauce:
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and mushrooms, sautéing until mushrooms are tender. Stir in shrimp and crab meat, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. For the Bechamel Sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden. Gradually whisk in milk, continuing to stir until the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of crepe batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift, then flip and cook for another minute. Repeat with remaining batter.
  5. To assemble, place a spoonful of the seafood mixture on each crepe, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and roll up. Place the filled crepes in a baking dish, pour Bechamel sauce over the top, and sprinkle with parsley.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until heated through and bubbly.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute seafood with sautéed spinach and ricotta cheese.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the seafood mixture for a fresh flavor boost.
