Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, lump crab meat, shredded cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, and chopped green onions. Squeeze in a splash of fresh lemon juice and season generously with salt and pepper. Stir until well blended and creamy.
- Take a medium-sized flour tortilla and lay it flat. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the seafood filling into the center. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a secure bundle.
- Decide whether to fry or bake your Cheesy Seafood Tortilla Bombs. For frying, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. For baking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- For frying, add tortilla bombs in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. For baking, place on baking sheet, brush lightly with melted butter, and bake for about 15-20 minutes until lightly toasted and cheese is bubbling.
- Once cooked, let the Cheesy Seafood Tortilla Bombs cool for a minute before serving. They are best enjoyed warm with dipping sauces like garlic cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Notes
Ensure tortillas are at room temperature for easier rolling and avoid microwaving leftovers to maintain crispiness.
