Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Biscuit Dough
  • 1 can refrigerated flaky biscuit dough
Seafood Filling
  • 0.5 cup cooked shrimp, finely chopped
  • 0.5 cup cooked lump crab meat
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Method
 

Preparation
  1. 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.
  2. Flatten each biscuit round to approximately 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the seafood filling in the center of each round. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a filled biscuit pocket.
  3. Arrange the stuffed biscuits seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter to ensure a glossy, golden crust.
Baking
  1. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 13 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and fully puffed.
  2. 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.
Serving Suggestions
  1. Offer spicy aioli, garlic butter, or marinara sauce on the side for dipping to enhance the flavor experience.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
