Description

Delicious and creamy Crab Shrimp Queso Rolls, perfect for gatherings or a cozy night in, blending the rich flavors of seafood and cheese.


Ingredients

  • 0.5 lb cooked shrimp, finely chopped
  • 0.5 lb cooked crab meat, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 0.5 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cup queso dip (mild or spicy)
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp smoked paprika
  • 8 pieces small flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp butter or oil for frying


Instructions

  1. Combine the finely chopped shrimp and shredded crab meat in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add in the Monterey Jack cheese and softened cream cheese, mixing well until blended.
  3. Stir in the queso dip, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until creamy and well-combined.
  4. Take a small flour tortilla and place an ample scoop of the seafood mixture in the center.
  5. Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the edges to form a secure roll.
  6. Repeat for the remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Heat the butter or oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Place the rolls seam-side down in the skillet and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet for an even cook, and adjust the filling amount to prevent overstuffing.
