These delicious shrimp crêpes are not too rich. The mild sauces do not cover up the taste of the shrimp. Scallops can be used instead of lobster.

Ingredients
cooking spray
Crêpes:
1 ½ cups milk
3 eggs
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
Filling:
1 ½ cups water
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 ounces lobster meat (Optional)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pinch cayenne pepper
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Sauce:
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Directions
Spray a 9×12-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Make the crêpes: Beat milk and eggs together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until frothy, about 2 minutes. Add flour and salt to milk mixture; beat until incorporated, about 2 more minutes.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the skillet and immediately rotate the skillet until the batter evenly coats the bottom in a thin layer. Cook until the top of the crêpe is no longer wet and the bottom has turned light brown, about 4 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge of the skillet to loosen; flip crêpe and cook until the other side has turned light brown, about 2 more minutes.
Prepare the filling: Whisk water, flour, and salt together in a bowl.
Place butter and garlic in a nonstick skillet over low heat. Cover skillet and cook until garlic is golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add shrimp and lobster meat; stir, cover skillet, and cook until shrimp are bright pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and cayenne pepper; stir, cover skillet, and cook for 5 more minutes.
Whisk water-flour mixture and stir into shrimp mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over shrimp mixture; cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat and spoon shrimp filling onto each crêpe. Roll each crêpe around filling and place in the prepared baking dish.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Make the sauce: Combine milk, mayonnaise, and flour in a small saucepan; cook and stir over medium heat until bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle sauce over filled crêpes.
Bake in the preheated oven until crêpes are cooked through and sauce is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes.
