Seafood-Stuffed Crepes with Shrimp and Lobster
  1. 1

    Coat a 9x12-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Make the crepes: In a large bowl, beat the milk and eggs with an electric mixer until frothy, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and salt to the milk mixture and beat until incorporated, about 2 more minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and immediately tilt the skillet to spread the batter in a thin, even layer over the bottom. Cook until the top of the crepe is no longer wet and the bottom is light brown, about 4 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge to loosen; flip the crepe and cook until the second side is light brown, about 2 more minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the filling: Whisk the water, flour, and salt together in a bowl.

  5. 5

    Place the butter and garlic in a nonstick skillet over low heat. Cover and cook until the garlic is golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add the shrimp and lobster meat; stir, cover, and cook until the shrimp are bright pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice and cayenne pepper; stir, cover, and cook for 5 more minutes.

  6. 6

    Whisk the water-flour mixture and stir it into the shrimp mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the shrimp mixture; cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and spoon the shrimp filling onto each crepe. Roll each crepe around the filling and place them in the prepared baking dish.

  7. 7

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  8. 8

    Make the sauce: Combine the milk, mayonnaise, and flour in a small saucepan; cook and stir over medium heat until bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle the sauce over the filled crepes.

  9. 9

    Bake in the preheated oven until the crepes are heated through and the sauce is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.
