Ingredients
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup lump crab meat
4 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup carrots, diced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups seafood or chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/4 cups Cheddar Bay biscuit mix
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large oven-safe skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
2. Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly to coat vegetables. Gradually pour in broth, whisking to remove lumps. Simmer 3 minutes until thickened.
3. Stir in heavy cream, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add shrimp and crab. Cook for 2-3 minutes until shrimp begins to turn pink. Remove from heat.
4. In a separate bowl, combine biscuit mix, shredded cheddar, milk, melted butter, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined.
5. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the seafood mixture.
6. Bake at 400°F for 18-22 minutes, until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Use fresh or frozen shrimp, but thaw completely if using frozen.
Do not overmix the biscuit dough to keep it light and fluffy.
For extra richness, stir a handful of cheese into the filling before baking.
