Preparation

In a large saucepan, melt 1 tbsp (15 ml) butter over medium heat. Add red bell pepper, garlic and lemon zest; cook 1 min. Add shrimp and scallops, continue to cook just until scallops turn opaque and shrimp turns pink. Turn into a bowl; set aside.

In same pan, melt remaining butter over medium heat; stir in flour until combined. Whisk in cream, stirring continuously until mixture boils and thickens. (Mixture will be very thick.) Stir in seafood and herbs; gently heat through. Add lemon juice to taste, salt and Cayenne pepper. If necessary, thin mixture with cream or lemon juice.

Heat crêpes if you wish before filing. Fill each crêpe with about 2/3 cup (160 ml) filling. Roll up and serve immediately.
