Let's Make It

Melt 2 Tbsp. of the butter; set aside. Beat eggs and milk in medium bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Add melted butter, the flour and salt; beat until smooth. Let stand 20 min.

Heat lightly greased medium nonstick skillet on medium heat. Ladle 1/4 cup batter into skillet, tilting pan to form a thin round circle. Cook 1 to 2 min. or until edge of crepe is lightly browned. Carefully turn crepe with spatula; cook an additional 30 sec. Remove from skillet; cover to keep warm. Repeat to make a total of 8 crepes.

Melt remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in small saucepan on medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir 2 min. Gradually add cream cheese, stirring until completely melted. Add shrimp, crabmeat and tomato sauce; stir. Cook 10 min. or until heated through. Spoon 1/3 cup of the seafood mixture down center of each crepe; roll up. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg.
