Ingredients
  

For the Crepe Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour The base for our lovely crepes.
  • 2 large eggs These give our crepes structure and richness.
  • 1.5 cups milk Adds moisture and helps create a smooth batter.
  • 2 tbsp melted butter For flavor and a touch of decadence.
  • 0.5 tsp salt Enhances all the flavors.
For the Seafood Filling
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped Sweet and succulent seafood.
  • 1 cup cooked crab meat Adds a luxurious touch.
  • 0.5 cup cream cheese, softened Creamy goodness that binds the filling.
  • 0.25 cup green onions, sliced For a fresh, zesty kick.
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice Brightens everything up!
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Because garlic makes everything better.
  • 0.5 tsp paprika A hint of color and warmth.
For Cooking
  • Oil for frying
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Non-Stick Skillet
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix the chopped shrimp, crab meat, cream cheese, green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Pour a ladleful of crepe batter into the skillet, tilting to spread evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is golden. Flip and cook for another minute. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter.
  4. Step 4: Place a spoonful of the seafood filling onto each crepe, fold them over, and press gently to seal.
  5. Step 5: In a clean skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the stuffed crepes until golden and crispy on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Step 6: Serve warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.

Notes

Store any leftover crepes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a skillet over low heat to keep them crispy. You can also freeze them! Just make sure they are well wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
