Ingredients
  

For the Crepes:

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups milk

2 tablespoons melted butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Seafood Filling:

1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped

1 cup crab meat, shredded

1 cup scallops, chopped

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup sour cream

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1/2 lemon

For the Sauce:

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup white wine

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crepes:

    - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

      - In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, whisking until smooth and lump-free.

        - Let the batter rest for 30 minutes.

          Cook the Crepes:

            - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.

              - Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, tilting it to spread evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 1 minute.

                - Repeat until all batter is used, stacking the crepes on a plate.

                  Make the Seafood Filling:

                    - In a bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, scallops, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, dill, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until all seafood is coated.

                      Assemble the Crepes:

                        - Place a spoonful of the seafood filling along one edge of a crepe. Roll it up gently to encase the filling. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling.

                          Prepare the Sauce:

                            - In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, white wine, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over low heat, whisking constantly until thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

                              Serve:

                                - On a serving plate, arrange the filled crepes. Drizzle with the creamy sauce and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.
