  3. In a saucepan, melt butter, whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually add milk, cooking until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  4. Combine shrimp, crab, and white fish in a bowl, season with salt, pepper, and herbs for the filling.
  5. Fill each crepe with seafood filling, fold, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
