How to Make Cheesy Seafood Tortilla Bombs
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Start your cooking adventure by heating your oven, ensuring it's ready to make those cheesy delights golden and bubbly!
  2. In a large bowl, combine chopped cooked shrimp, lump crab meat, shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and paprika. Season generously with salt and pepper for a flavor-packed filling.
  3. Lay a generous amount of the seafood filling in the center of each flour tortilla. Roll them tightly and place seam-side down in a buttered baking dish, neatly arranging them for a lovely presentation.
  4. In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, cooking until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Pour this delicious sauce over the rolled tortillas.
  5. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and bubbling with gooey cheese. The aroma will be simply irresistible!
  6. Plate your Cheesy Seafood Tortilla Bombs and drizzle with additional garlic cream sauce for an extra special touch. Enjoy with family and friends!
