→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 can refrigerated flaky biscuit dough
02 -
0.5 cup cooked shrimp, finely chopped
03 -
0.5 cup cooked lump crab meat
04 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
05 -
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or cream cheese
06 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 -
Salt, to taste
08 -
Black pepper, to taste
09 -
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
10 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
# Steps:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, lump crab meat, shredded cheese, mayonnaise or cream cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended into a creamy seafood mixture.
02 -
Flatten each biscuit round to approximately 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of seafood filling in the center of each round. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a filled biscuit pocket.
03 -
Arrange the stuffed biscuits seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter to ensure a glossy, golden crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 13 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and fully puffed.
04 -
Allow the biscuits to rest for several minutes after baking before serving to let the filling set. Serve warm to enjoy the molten, cheesy seafood center.
05 -
Offer spicy aioli, garlic butter, or marinara sauce on the side for dipping to enhance the flavor experience.
# Notes:
01 -
To prevent soggy bottoms, avoid overfilling the biscuits and fully seal the edges before baking.
