Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a non-stick baking dish by greasing it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, lump crab meat, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and paprika. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter and add heavy cream. Stir gently for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture simmers lightly, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Lay your flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon an even amount of the seafood mixture onto each tortilla, then roll them tightly from one side to the other.
  5. Carefully pour the prepared garlic cream sauce over the stuffed tortillas, ensuring that each bomb is evenly coated.
  6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the Cheesy Seafood Tortilla Bombs for about 20-25 minutes.
  7. Once baked, remove the dish from the oven, and let it cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
