Seafood Crepes
This is something I came up with after developing a simple crepe recipe. I believe we used to serve something along these lines, at a restaurant I worked at.
Crepe base recipe:
2 eggs
1/4cup flaxseed flour
1/4 cup half and half
Adjust the consistency of the crepe batter with h&h, it should be pretty runny. You can use creme if you want.
Pour around 4TBL of batter on a griddle, tilt to maximize area covered.
Cook for maybe a minute, just until bottom is browned lightly and top is fairly dry. I don't flip them, you can if you want. The crepe should be very thin, about 1/8" thick, and maybe 6" diameter.
Seafood filling:
1cup cream
1/2 small tomato, chopped
8oz cooked shrimp, pealed and chopped
1 clove fresh garlic
2TBL olive oil
splash of red wine
Saute the garlic in some olive oil, add tomato and cook a couple of minutes. Add shrimp and cook another few minutes, then add cream and simmer 5 or 10 minutes. Add a splash of wine (less than 1TBL) towards the end of simmering. The filling should be relatively thick, and a pinkish color.
Using a slotted spoon, place some shrimp and tomato in each of three crepes. Roll these up, then ladle on a bit of the cream over the top. Sprinkle a little dried parsley or basil over the top for looks.
You can also use the fake crabmeat, or real crab, and it is nice to add some fish in as well. Experiment with your favorite seafood.
Hope you enjoy.
