Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Start your cooking adventure by heating your oven, ensuring it's ready to make those cheesy delights golden and bubbly!
  • In a large bowl, combine chopped cooked shrimp, lump crab meat, shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and paprika. Season generously with salt and pepper for a flavor-packed filling.
  • Lay a generous amount of the seafood filling in the center of each flour tortilla. Roll them tightly and place seam-side down in a buttered baking dish, neatly arranging them for a lovely presentation.
  • In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, cooking until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Pour this delicious sauce over the rolled tortillas.
  • Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and bubbling with gooey cheese.
  • Plate your Cheesy Seafood Tortilla Bombs and drizzle with additional garlic cream sauce for an extra special touch. Enjoy with family and friends!
