Preparation

Prepare the crepes by mixing together flour, nutmeg, salt, the egg, and adding the milk. Work the batter very well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. Heat a lightly greased skillet with butter and proceed to cook the crepes using a ladleful of batter for each crepe.
Separately, wash and clean the shrimp and cook them in a drizzle of oil with a clove of garlic that has been sautéed. Add the brandy, raise the heat, and when it has almost completely evaporated, add the tomato paste and cream. Lower the heat to minimum and stir, being careful not to let the mixture reduce too much. Meanwhile, dice the zucchini and cook it in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil (just a little is enough). Proceed to assemble the crepes by mixing the zucchini with the shrimp mixture and using this filling to stuff the crepes. Serve them immediately while hot.
