Instructions

In a bowl, combine shrimp, crab, shredded cheese, cream cheese, garlic, green onions (if using), lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each tortilla.
Fold each tortilla tightly into a bundle, sealing the edges well.
For frying: heat oil and fry until golden and crispy. For baking: brush with butter and bake until toasted and melted.
Serve warm with garlic cream or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Use pepper jack for a spicy kick.
Add bell peppers or jalapeños for crunch and heat.
To freeze: place assembled bombs on a tray to freeze, then store in a bag. Reheat from frozen.
Prefer lighter alternatives? Bake instead of frying to reduce fat.
