  • Author: Sarah White
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 tortilla bombs

Description

Golden tortilla bombs filled with creamy crab, shrimp, and cheese, topped with a rich garlic cream sauce. A perfect appetizer or party snack.


Ingredients

  • 8 small flour tortillas

  • 1 cup crab meat

  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives, chopped

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, chopped shrimp, cream cheese, mozzarella, herbs, salt, and pepper until well blended.

  2. Lay tortillas flat and place 2–3 tablespoons of filling in the center of each. Fold and tuck edges to form sealed pouches.

  3. Arrange filled tortillas seam-side down on a greased baking sheet and brush lightly with butter or oil.

  4. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes, until golden and crisp.

  5. Meanwhile, prepare garlic cream: melt butter in a saucepan, sauté garlic until fragrant, then add cream and Parmesan. Simmer until thickened.

  6. Drizzle garlic cream over warm tortilla bombs before serving.

Notes

Best served warm and fresh. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for crispiness. Can be frozen before baking and cooked directly from frozen.
