Ingredients
Scale
Crepes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
Filling
- 2 cups mixed seafood (shrimp, crab, and scallops)
- ½ cup diced onions
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Sauce and Topping
- 2 cups béchamel sauce
- ½ cup grated cheese
Instructions
- Make the crepe batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, and salt until smooth and well combined to create a thin crepe batter.
- Cook the crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet, swirling the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Cook until the edges lift and the surface is lightly golden, then flip briefly if needed. Repeat until all batter is cooked, stacking the finished crepes on a plate.
- Prepare the seafood filling: In a separate pan, sauté the diced onions over medium heat until translucent. Add the mixed seafood and cook until the seafood turns opaque and is cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley, then remove from heat.
- Assemble the crepes: Spoon the seafood filling onto each crepe and roll them up tightly.
- Prepare for baking: Arrange the filled crepes in a baking dish. Pour béchamel sauce evenly over the crepes and sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.
Notes
- For a smoother crepe batter, let it rest for 15 minutes before cooking.
- You can substitute mixed seafood with just shrimp or crab if preferred.
- Béchamel sauce can be homemade or store-bought for convenience.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent crepes from sticking and tearing.
- Serve the crepes with a light green salad for a complete meal.
