Ingredients

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 lb crab meat

1 tablespoon butter

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup flour

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth or seafood broth

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup frozen peas or mixed vegetables

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

3/4 cup milk

1/4 cup melted butter (for brushing)

1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes until pink. Remove. Cook crab for 1–2 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Add onion and garlic to the skillet; cook for 2–3 minutes. Stir in flour to form a roux; cook for 1–2 minutes.
  4. Slowly whisk in broth and cream; bring to simmer and cook 3–5 minutes until thickened. Stir in paprika, salt, pepper, shrimp, crab, and peas. Remove from heat.
  5. For the biscuit topping, mix flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in cheddar cheese. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles crumbs. Add milk and stir until just combined.
  6. Pour seafood mixture into the baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over top.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes until biscuit topping is golden and cooked through.
  8. Brush biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overmix biscuit dough to keep it light and tender.

Use seafood of choice like scallops, lobster, or white fish.

Frozen seafood can be used if thawed and drained properly.

Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in oven or microwave.
