Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 pounds Fresh shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
• 0.5 pounds Lump crab meat
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
• 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup White wine
• 1 cup Gruyere cheese (grated)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (ground)
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 cups of milk, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until smooth. Set aside the crepe batter for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling to spread it thinly across the surface. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift easily, then flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Repeat until you have 8-10 crepes. Stack them and keep warm.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add 1/2 pound of chopped shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until opaque. Stir in 1/2 pound of lump crab meat, 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon of chopped dill, and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of white wine over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add 1 cup of grated Gruyere cheese and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper. Keep the Mornay sauce warm.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Place a few spoonfuls of the seafood mixture in the center of each crepe. Roll the crepes gently and arrange them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

Step 9

Pour the Mornay sauce over the crepes, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 10

Bake for 15-20 minutes until heated through and slightly golden on top.

Step 11

Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley or dill if desired.
