Print Recipe

A rich and indulgent seafood pasta roll-up featuring creamy Alfredo sauce, tender shrimp, and lump crab meat wrapped in pasta or tortillas and baked to bubbly perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped (fresh or thawed frozen; medium size works best)
  • 1 cup lump crab meat (drain well; remove shells)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • 8 to 10 large flour tortillas or fresh pasta sheets (like lasagna noodles, cooked and cooled)
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your baking dish and set aside.
  2. Chop cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces and pick through crab meat to remove any shell fragments. Set aside.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Pour in 1 ½ cups of heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer without boiling.
  5. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning if using. Stir for 3-5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Remove skillet from heat and gently fold in chopped shrimp and crab meat. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Lay out one tortilla or cooked pasta sheet on a flat surface. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the creamy seafood mixture onto one edge, spreading evenly but leaving a small border. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining filling (about 8-10 roll-ups).
  8. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the roll-ups. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  9. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  10. Let roll-ups rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

If Alfredo sauce is too thick before mixing with seafood, add a splash of milk or cream to loosen it. Be gentle when folding in crab to keep lumps intact. Use fresh garlic and freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor. Roll tortillas or pasta sheets snugly but not too tight to prevent filling from spilling. Leftovers reheat well covered with a splash of cream or milk. Can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking. Freeze wrapped tightly for up to 2 months.
