Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 pounds Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 0.5 pounds Crab meat (lump or canned)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Shallots (minced)
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly butter it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, swirling to cover the surface in a thin layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, flip, and cook the other side for 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking crepes on a plate and covering with a towel to keep warm.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced shallots and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent.

Step 4

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until pink and cooked through. Stir in the crab meat and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream, orange zest, orange juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture is slightly thickened. Stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 6

To assemble, lay a crepe flat and place about 2 tablespoons of the seafood mixture along the center. Roll the crepe tightly and place seam-side down on a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.

Step 7

Optionally, garnish with additional orange zest, parsley, or a drizzle of cream before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
