SEAFOOD CREPES
Hi and welcome to our website!
Todays recipe is for seafood crepes, we will show you how to make the basic crepes and share with you a tasty seafood sauce that taste like a bowl of seafood chowder.
If this interests you, make yourself a cup of tea and sit back and watch our short video tutorial to make yours today!
Our seafood we are using is shrimp, scallops and crab meat....you can use other seafood if these are not available or to costly. You can use canned crab, shrimp or lobster, chucks of salmon or white fish. These will be lovely replacements for our seafood today!
Mix together in a bowl with a hand held whisk, eggs, milk and water....then toss in sea salt and slowly add flour but keep whisking at all times. The batter must be smooth and creamy....after add melted room temperature butter or margarine.
Have your frying pan heated to a medium to high heat.....spray the pan or add a drop of oil. Pour into the pan about ¼ cup of batter and roll it around in the pan to thin the mixture out and start to fry...
Keep making all the basic crepes until all fried, cooking them about 30 second to 1 minute of both sides and not over frying them to be to crisp. You don't want then to doughy so when you see a nice golden colour on both sides that will be good. Place on a plate with a piece of paper towel between each one.
Now! Lets make our seafood sauce!
Fry those ingredients until cooked then add milk, shredded cheese, salt and pepper, then your seafood of choice or the once we have chosen.
I always love to make the seafood sauce runny because you can dip the crepe in or make the seafood casserole for more meal ideas.
