Seafood Crepes
Yield: 4 servings (2 crepes each)
Ingredients
Crepes
- 2/3 cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
Filling
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
- 4 medium green onions, chopped (1/4 cup)
- 2/3 cup small cooked shrimp
- 1 (6 ounce) package frozen cooked crabmeat, thawed, drained

Instructions
Crepes
- In a medium bowl, beat all crepe ingredients with wire whisk or hand beater until smooth. For each crepe, lightly butter 7 or 8 inch skillet; heat over medium heat until bubbly. Pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter into skillet;
rotate skillet until batter covers bottom. Cook until light brown; turn and cook other side until light brown. Stack crepes, placing waxed paper between each. Keep crepes covered to prevent them from drying out.
Filling
- Ina 2 quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Cook mushrooms and 2 tablespoons of the onions in butter, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender. Stir in shrimp, crabmeat, Half-and-Half and cream cheese. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup seafood mixture down center of each crepe; roll up. Place in 11 x 7 inch (2 quart) glass baking dish. Sprinkle with Swiss cheese.
- Microwave uncovered on HIGH for 4 to 6 minutes or until cheese is melted and crepes are heated through.
- Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons onions.
Notes
Do-Ahead Tip: Freeze cooked crepes, layered between wax paper, up to 3 months. Thaw uncovered at room temperature about 15 minutes or until soft.
How-To: Instead of microwaving the filled crepes, they can be baked at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes or until warm and bubbly.
