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 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes until warm.
