Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1½ cups whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ pound shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
  • ½ pound lump crabmeat (or substitute scallops or white fish)

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk, warmed
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Salt and white pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a blender, mix flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Chill the batter for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly butter it. Pour in batter to form crêpes, cooking until golden on both sides.
  3. For the filling, sauté shallots and garlic in butter until fragrant. Add seafood and cook until just done. Stir in cream, seasonings, and simmer until thickened.
  4. Prepare Bécchicken hamel sauce by whisking melted butter with flour, then gradually adding warm milk until smooth; season as desired.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Fill each crêpe with seafood mixture, roll up tightly, place seam-side down in a baking dish, and cover with Bécchicken hamel sauce before baking for 15–20 minutes.
