Ingredients for Shrimp and Scallop Crepes

Let’s start with what you’ll need:

8–10 pre-made or homemade crepes
½ pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ pound sea scallops, tough muscle removed
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 small shallot, diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk (or unsweetened plant milk)
½ cup grated cheese (like parmesan or mild cheddar)
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s walk through the process.

Step 1: Sauté the Seafood

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add garlic and shallots, sauté for 1–2 minutes.
Add shrimp and scallops. Cook until shrimp turn pink and scallops are opaque — about 3–4 minutes.
Remove seafood and set aside. Chop into bite-sized pieces once slightly cooled.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Sauce

In the same pan, add flour to the remaining oil and whisk to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in cheese, herbs, salt, pepper, and optional nutmeg.

Step 3: Assemble the Crepes

Place a spoonful of seafood filling in each crepe.
Roll or fold them gently and place in a greased baking dish.
Optional: Top with extra sauce and a sprinkle of cheese.

Step 4: Bake

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes, or until heated through and lightly golden on top.

Sauce Variations to Try

Customize the flavor to suit your preference:

Lemon Cream Sauce – Add lemon zest and juice for brightness
Herbed Butter Sauce – Melt butter with thyme and parsley
Tomato Cream Sauce – Stir a spoonful of tomato paste into the sauce base
Mushroom Sauce – Add finely chopped sautéed mushrooms for earthiness
