4 oz cream cheese, softened
3 tbsp mayonnaise
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp paprika

Steps
In a bowl, mix the shrimp, crab, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
Spread the seafood filling evenly over each tortilla, roll them tightly, and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
In a skillet, melt the butter, sauté garlic until fragrant, then add heavy cream and simmer until slightly thickened.
