Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl mix the chopped shrimp, crabmeat, ricotta cheese, shallots, parsley, lemon zest, egg, parmesan cheese, milk, salt and pepper. Mix well and put seafood mixture in a ziploc bag.

Cut the corner of the bag.  Squeeze shrimp mixture onto the edge of the egg roll wrapper. Roll up the egg rolls and put two cannelloni, seam side down, into an oven proof baking dish and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Put your sauce ingredients into a pan, except the parmesan cheese. Heat on medium heat stirring constantly.  When warmed through, add the parmesan cheese and stir until melted and slightly thickened.

Pour sauce over cannelloni.  Cook for 15-20 minutes or until sauce is bubbly.  Top with parmesan, parsley and lemon wedges.
