Ingredients
  

Seafood Filling

  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped Use cooked shrimp for best flavor
  • 1 cup lump crab meat Use fresh lump crab
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced For filling
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 6 medium flour tortillas

Garlic Cream Sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter Melt in skillet
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced For sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream Pour in skillet
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped For garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine chopped cooked shrimp, lump crab meat, shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to create a creamy seafood filling.
  • Lay out each flour tortilla flat and evenly spread the seafood filling over the surface.
  • Roll the tortillas tightly to encase the filling and place each seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

Cooking

  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté additional minced garlic until fragrant but not browned.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
  • Pour the garlic cream sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the tops are golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top before serving.

Notes

Serve hot with a green salad or steamed veggies. For a saucy option, spoon extra garlic cream over each roll.
