Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups seafood mix (shrimp, scallops, and crab)
- 1 diced onion
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for sautéing
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for béchamel sauce
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for béchamel sauce
- 2 cups milk for béchamel sauce
- juice of half a lemon
- fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups of milk, 3 large eggs, and 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter.
- Whisk until smooth—aiming for a pancake-like consistency.
- Let this rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
- Pour about ¼ cup of crepe batter into the skillet, swirling it around to ensure an even layer.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown on one side; flip carefully using a spatula and cook for another minute on the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining batter (you should get around eight crepes).
- Stack those beauties on a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel.
- In another pan over medium heat, sauté one diced onion in a tablespoon of melted butter until softened (around 5 minutes).
- Add your seafood mix—about 2 cups—and cook until the shrimp turns pink and opaque (about 4-5 minutes).
- Squeeze in juice from half a lemon and stir well before removing from heat.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to create a roux; keep stirring until pale golden (around 2 minutes).
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk while continuing to stir vigorously until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Season it generously with salt and pepper.
- Take one crepe at a time; place about two tablespoons of the seafood filling down the center.
- Fold over both sides neatly like wrapping a present!
- Place each filled crepe seam-side down in an oven-safe dish.
- Repeat until all are filled.
- Pour béchamel sauce generously over all filled crepes before placing them in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes or until heated through.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving hot.
Notes
Store leftover crepes in airtight containers for freshness.
Reheat gently in a skillet, avoiding sogginess.
Serve with fresh parsley garnish for flavor.
Use fresh seafood for best taste.
