Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1 cup lump crab meat
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 flour tortillas
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the chopped cooked shrimp, lump crab meat, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Fold in the mozzarella and cheddar until evenly mixed.
- Spoon equal portions of the seafood-cheese mixture onto each flour tortilla, roll tightly, and tuck the ends to form sealed “bombs.” Place seam-side down.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, add the remaining minced garlic (if any), then pour in the heavy cream. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened; season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the tortilla bombs seam-side down in a shallow baking dish, pour the garlic cream sauce evenly over them, and sprinkle any remaining cheese on top.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–16 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Garnish with chopped parsley and a pinch of extra paprika before serving.
