Method
 

Preparation of Filling
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sweat the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the shrimp and sauté until just tender and opaque, 2–3 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat, chop coarsely if large, and fold into a bowl with the crab meat, ricotta, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stir in chopped parsley for brightness.
Assembling the Crepes
  1. Lay each crepe on a work surface.
  2. Spoon an even portion of filling down the center of each crepe, then roll tightly, tucking in the ends.
Baking the Crepes
  1. Nestle the rolled crepes in a buttered baking dish, seam-side down.
  2. Pour the Alfredo sauce over the tops, ensuring it seeps into the folds.
  3. Scatter shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan evenly across the crepes.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is golden.
  5. Allow to rest a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve warm with a spoonful of sauce and a sprinkle of parsley. Complement with a light salad or steamed asparagus. Allow the assembled dish to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to stabilize the sauce.
