Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Lightly butter a baking sheet or oven-proof serving plate.
-
Allow the herb-garlic cheese spread to come to room temperature for easier spreading.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, 2 1/4 cups of the shredded jack cheese, and the chopped fresh chives. Mix well.
-
Lay out 4 crepes flat on a clean work surface.
-
Spread 2 tablespoons of the herb-garlic cheese evenly over each crepe.
-
Place the crepes cheese-side-up on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Divide the shrimp and cheese mixture evenly among the four crepes, spreading it gently over the garlic cheese layer.
-
Top each crepe stack with one of the remaining 4 crepes.
-
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded jack cheese evenly over the top crepes.
-
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crepes are heated through.
-
Remove from oven and let stand for 2 minutes. Cut each stack into wedges and serve immediately.

Note
Make sure to drain the cooked shrimp well to prevent the crepes from becoming soggy.
If using homemade crepes, ensure they are cooled completely before assembling to maintain structure.
For a lighter version, you can reduce the amount of herb-garlic cheese spread or use a low-fat jack cheese.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350ðF oven for 10-15 minutes until warm.
