# Directions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
02 - In a large bowl, combine chopped cooked shrimp, lump crab meat, mozzarella, cheddar, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and evenly blended.
03 - Lay out each flour tortilla. Evenly spread the seafood filling over each, then roll up tightly. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
04 - In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and creamy, about 3–4 minutes.
05 - Pour the garlic cream sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the tops of the tortilla bombs are golden brown.
06 - Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve hot for the creamiest texture.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The combination of crab and shrimp feels luxurious without requiring restaurant level technique
  • That garlic cream sauce transforms everything into something people literally moan over
02 -
  • Roll the tortillas tightly or the filling will ooze out during baking
  • Let the cream sauce simmer until it coats the back of a spoon or it will be too thin
03 -
  • Warm your tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds before filling to prevent cracking
  • Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top before baking for an even more golden crust
