Ingredients
  

  • 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
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter for Bechamel Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for Bechamel Sauce
  • 2 cups milk for Bechamel Sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt for Bechamel Sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper for Bechamel Sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg for Bechamel Sauce

Method
 

  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. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
  3. Pour about ¼ cup of the 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.
  4. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate.
  5. For the Bechamel Sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Gradually whisk in the milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  8. To assemble, place a few pieces of shrimp and crab in the center of each crepe, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, and fold the crepes over the filling.
  9. Place the filled crepes in a greased baking dish and pour the Bechamel sauce over the top.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
