Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Cooked shrimp, chopped | 2 cups |
| Crab meat, drained and flaked | 1 cup |
| Mayonnaise | 1/2 cup |
| Cream cheese, softened | 1/4 cup |
| Dijon mustard | 1 tablespoon |
| Lemon juice | 1 tablespoon |
| Old Bay seasoning | 1 teaspoon |
| Garlic powder | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits) | 1 package (16.5 oz) |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 1 cup |
| Fresh parsley, chopped | 2 tablespoons |
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, stir together the chopped shrimp, crab meat, mayonnaise, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper until the filling becomes creamy and well blended.
Separate the refrigerated biscuits and gently flatten each one into a 1/4-inch-thick circle.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the seafood mixture into the center of each dough round.
Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together so the mixture stays sealed inside. Arrange the filled biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 15–20 minutes until the biscuits turn a beautiful golden brown.
Take them out of the oven, top each one with shredded cheddar cheese, and return them for about 5 more minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Add a little hot sauce or cayenne if you want a spicy twist.
Lobster or scallops work well as a substitute for the crab if you want a different seafood flavor.
