Crepes with Shrimp Filling

- 3 3/4 dl (1 1/2 cups) water
- 1 1/4 dl (1/2 cup) heavy cream
- 250g (1 cup) cooked shrimp
- 60g (2 tablespoons) all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 dl (1 cup) and 3 3/4 dl (1 1/2 cups) milk
- 60g (1/4 cup) chopped fresh dill
- 115g (1/2 cup) melted butter
- 1 bouillon cube
- 115g (1/2 cup) grated cheese (for serving)
- 4 eggs
- 180g (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- Salt and pepper to taste
1. Prepare the filling by combining 250ml (1 cup) of milk, 125ml (1/2 cup) of heavy cream, 25g (2 tablespoons) of all-purpose flour, and 1 bouillon cube in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil while continuously whisking over medium heat.
2. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally.
3. Add 225g (8 ounces) of cooked, peeled, and deveined shrimp, 15g (1/4 cup) of chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and then let the mixture cool to room temperature.
4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 115g (1 cup) of all-purpose flour, 125ml (1/2 cup) of water, and a pinch of salt. Add 2 large eggs and 60ml (1/4 cup) of milk, whisking the batter until smooth and free of lumps.
5. Heat a small non-stick pan or crepe pan over medium heat and add a small amount of melted butter to the pan.
6. Pour about 120ml (1/2 cup) of the crepe batter into the pan, tilting it to evenly coat the bottom of the pan.
7. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen the crepe with a spatula, then flip it over and cook the other side for another minute.
8. Divide the cooled shrimp filling among the crepes, placing a portion of the filling in the center of each crepe.
9. Roll up the crepes tightly and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
10. Sprinkle 115g (1 cup) of grated cheese evenly over the rolled crepes and bake in a preheated oven at 120°C (250°F) for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
11. Serve the crepes warm, accompanied by a side salad, sliced tomatoes, and cucumber.
