Ingredients

Scale

Seafood Spread

  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cocktail sauce
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning (add to taste)
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 oz. cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
  • 4 oz. imitation crab, diced

Assembly

  • 4 regular sized tortillas

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, cocktail sauce, and Old Bay seasoning. Using a hand mixer, blend until the cream cheese is smooth and the mixture is spreadable.
  2. Fold in seafood and cheese: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cooked shrimp, and diced imitation crab into the cream cheese mixture until evenly incorporated.
  3. Spread on tortillas: Lay out each tortilla flat and spread an even layer of the seafood cream cheese mixture onto each, leaving about 1/2 inch space around the edges to prevent spilling.
  4. Roll and chill: Roll up each tortilla tightly, tucking in any extra filling as you go to ensure a neat roll. Place the roll-ups in the refrigerator and chill for 4 to 8 hours to allow flavors to meld and the rolls to firm up.
  5. Slice and serve: After chilling, slice the roll-ups into bite-sized pieces and serve as a tasty appetizer or light snack.

Notes

  • Use sour cream for extra creaminess; you can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Chilling helps the filling set and makes it easier to slice without the filling spilling out.
  • Adjust Old Bay seasoning to your taste preference for spice level.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
