Steps:
- Combine milk, flour, eggs, and melted butter in a blender. Process until smooth, for at least 1 minute. Set aside and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Coat a crepe pan or nonstick small skillet with melted butter. Pour in 1/4 cup crepe batter and swirl the pan until entire bottom is covered in a thin layer of batter. Cook until small brown spots appear on the bottom of the crepe, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Loosen crepe carefully from the pan using a spatula and gently flip to brown the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Slide crepe onto a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, re-buttering the pan as needed and stacking crepes onto the plate.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and scallops and cook until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and scallops are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from skillet.
- Melt 1 teaspoon butter in the same skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Add mushrooms and green onions; saute until mushrooms are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Whisk in flour until mixture becomes paste-like and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add milk and chicken broth and whisk until sauce is smooth and thickened. Thin out with more milk if needed.
- Add Swiss cheese, wine, and sherry to the sauce; stir until cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve 2/3 cup sauce. Add shrimp, scallops, mushrooms, and onions to the remaining 1/3 of the sauce and stir until heated through.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling across the lower third of each crepe. Roll crepes up jellyroll-style and serve at the table with the reserved sauce.

Reduce heat to low and cook crépe, uncovered, until underside and edge are crisp and golden, 2 to 3 minutes more (lift with a spatula to check underside; shrimp and pork will be fully cooked).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Snap off tough ends of the asparagus and cut into 1 inch pieces. Arrange in a steamer basket over boiling water; cover and steam 6 minutes or until crisp-tender. Plunge asparagus into ice water to stop cooking process; drain and set aside. If using raw shrimp, in large saucepan, bring about 1 qt. of water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Peel. Set aside. If using frozen pre-cooked, peeled shrimp, thaw and squeeze out excess water. Melt margarine in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add scallions and cook 2 minutes, stirring. Whisk in flour; cook 1 minute, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in milk; cook, whisking, until thick and bubbly. Whisk in salt, pepper, dill and 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese. When blended, reserve 1 c. of the sauce to use later. Stir shrimp and aspargus into the remaining sauce. Prepare crepes by combining all crepe ingredients but oil; beat. Add oil and mix lightly. Butter a non-stick skillet. Pour about 1/3 c. crepe batter into skillet. Move the skillet around to allow all uncooked batter to spread to the edges and cook. Gently turn the crepe over to brown on the other side. Remove to a plate. Spoon about 1/4 c. filling down the center of each crepe. Roll up and place seam-side down in a lightly greased 13x9 baking dish. Spoon remaining sauce over the crepes; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 c. Parmesan cheese. Bake 20 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your crepes will taste. Look for plump, juicy shrimp and use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your crepes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the crepes on medium heat: Medium heat will help the crepes cook evenly without burning.
- Flip the crepes carefully: Crepes are delicate, so be careful when you flip them. Use a spatula and gently loosen the edges of the crepe before flipping.
- Serve the crepes immediately: Crepes are best served immediately after they are made. They can be served with a variety of fillings, such as shrimp, vegetables, or fruit.
Conclusion:
Shrimp crepes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little practice, you can make perfect crepes every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give shrimp crepes a try.
