Ingredients
-
Seafood: 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1 cup lump crab meat
-
Dairy & Cheese: 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, ½ cup cream cheese (softened), 2 tbsp butter (melted)
-
Condiments/Spices: ¼ cup mayonnaise, 2 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning, ½ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp black pepper
-
Bakery/Garnish: 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count), fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
-
Preheat: Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Make Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, crab meat, cheddar, cream cheese, mayo, Dijon, Old Bay, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
-
Prep Biscuits: Separate the biscuit dough. On a floured surface, flatten each biscuit into a round disc about ¼ inch thick.
-
Fill: Place a generous spoonful of the seafood mixture in the center of each disc.
-
Seal: Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges tightly to ensure the seafood doesn’t leak during baking.
-
Brush: Arrange on the baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter.
-
Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
-
Finish: Let cool slightly, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
-
Shrimp Tip: If your shrimp are large, chop them into smaller pieces before mixing so they fit better inside the biscuits and cook evenly.
-
Cheese Swap: For a bit more kick, try using Pepper Jack instead of Cheddar.
-
Make it a Meal: Serve these alongside a creamy coleslaw or a cup of corn chowder.
