Description
Crab & Shrimp Queso Party Snack is a delectable blend of tender seafood, melted cheese, and spices wrapped in warm tortillas, perfect for impressing guests at any gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 pound cooked shrimp
- 1 pound cooked crab meat
- 2 cup Monterey Jack cheese
- 8 ounce cream cheese
- 1 cup queso dip
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 8 flour tortillas
Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, Monterey Jack cheese, cream cheese, queso dip, cilantro, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well incorporated.
2. Briefly warm the flour tortillas so they become soft and pliable.
3. Spoon the creamy seafood filling down the center of each tortilla and roll them up tightly.
4. Lightly brush the rolled tortillas with melted butter or oil, then bake them at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until golden and crispy. Alternatively, pan-sear the rolls until evenly browned on all sides.
5. Slice the baked or pan-fried rolls into bite-size pieces and serve warm with additional queso dip or salsa for dipping.
Notes
For a spicy version, add chopped jalapeños or use a spicier queso dip. For a vegetarian option, substitute seafood with sautéed mushrooms or cooked beans. Use dairy-free alternatives for a lactose-free version and gluten-free tortillas for those with dietary restrictions.
