Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp chopped
  • 1 cup cooked crab meat
  • 1 cup spinach chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter for Bechamel sauce
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour for Bechamel sauce
  • 2 cups milk for Bechamel sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt for Bechamel sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper for Bechamel sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg for Bechamel sauce

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a little butter.
  3. Pour about ¼ cup of the batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for another minute.
  4. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate.
  5. For the Bechamel sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  6. Gradually whisk in the milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. In a large bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, spinach, and half of the mozzarella cheese.
  8. Spoon a portion of the seafood mixture onto each crepe, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  9. Pour the Bechamel sauce over the crepes and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
