Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesy Seafood Tortilla Bombs Recipe
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, lump crab meat, shredded mozzarella, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Take a tortilla and lay it flat. Scoop a portion of the filling into the center, fold in the sides, and roll it tightly. Seal the edges gently.
  3. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter and then gradually add in heavy cream, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish, pour in a layer of garlic cream sauce, and place the tortilla bombs seam-side down. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven, cool for a few minutes, and serve on a platter. Drizzle any remaining sauce and garnish with parsley.
