1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

For the Seafood Filling:

8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined

8 oz scallops, rinsed and patted dry

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Sauce:

1 cup seafood stock or broth

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions

Make the Crepes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the milk and melted butter to the eggs, mixing until well combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, whisking continuously until a smooth, thin batter forms. If desired, fold in the chopped parsley for added flavor.

Cook the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease the surface with butter. Pour approximately ¼ cup of the crepe batter into the skillet, swirling it around to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the edges lift and the underside is golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional minute on the other side. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and continue the process with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on the plate.

Prepare the Seafood Filling: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for roughly 1 minute until fragrant. Incorporate the shrimp and scallops, cooking them until they turn opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, salt, pepper, chives, and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Prepare the Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour, cooking for about 1 minute while stirring continuously to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the seafood stock or broth until smooth, then bring it to a simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, then stir in the lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Crepes: Take one cooked crepe and lay it flat on a plate. Spoon a generous portion of the seafood filling down the center and fold the sides over the filling. Repeat this process for the remaining crepes.

Serve: Arrange the filled crepes on individual plates and generously drizzle the prepared sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh dill for a touch of elegance. Serve warm and savor the luxurious flavors!
