Ingredients
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup lump crab meat
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups seafood or chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 package Cheddar Bay biscuit mix
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish.
2. In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté onions, celery, and a pinch of salt until softened. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to form a roux.
4. Slowly whisk in broth, then heavy cream. Simmer until thickened. Season with Old Bay, salt, and pepper.
5. Fold in shrimp, crab, and frozen peas and carrots. Warm for 2–3 minutes, then pour into prepared dish.
6. In a bowl, mix biscuit mix, shredded cheddar, and milk until combined.
7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top of the seafood filling.
8. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until biscuits are golden and cooked through.
9. Brush biscuits with melted garlic butter. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Make sure your seafood is pre-cooked or quick-cooking to avoid overcooking in the oven.
Don’t overmix the biscuit dough; stir just until combined for fluffy biscuits.
Use a baking sheet under the dish to catch any overflow during baking.
