    Seafood Crepes

    Finished photo of seafood crepesLast week when I posted All Purpose Crepes I mentioned Seafood Crepes.  Seafood Crepes is a classic dish especially suited to celebrations or holidays.  At the take out shop we served these on Valentine's Day for two and we always had more orders than we could fill.

    The seafood crepes contain shrimp and scallops.  While bay scallops are ideal because of their small size, it is almost impossible to find them now.  Alternately, cut sea scallops in about four pieces and they will do nicely.  Whole and cut scallops for Seafood Crepes Because the scallops cook so quickly, I poach them in the liquid used for the bรฉchamel sauce  which is turned into a mornay sauce with the addition of cheese.  I found it amusing that as the United States began to rise to the top of the cooking world, we evidently wanted nothing to do with classic cooking terms.  So the word bรฉchamel and mornay were never used.  They became white sauce and white sauce with cheese.  I remember one TV chef saying no one used the word bรฉchamel as he commenced to make a bรฉchamel sauce.  In any case a bรฉchamel sauce  is one of the mother sauces that can be turned into other sauces with the addition of other ingredients.

    I remember when I was first becoming interested in cooking, I had no idea what a shallot was. Usually described as a combination of onion and garlic, it adds its own special flavor in refined cooking. Peeled and unpeeled shallots for Seafood CrepesThis is an extremely rich dish and certainly more than fulfills the fat and calorie count for the day no matter who you are.  But there are things that should be experienced if only once in a while and Seafood Crepes fits into that category.
