Ingredients
Seafood Filling:
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound lump crab meat
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups seafood stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping:
- 1 package Cheddar Bay biscuit mix
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¾ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or large oven-safe skillet.
- Cook Seafood: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for 3–4 minutes, until pink. Stir in crab meat and vegetables. Cook for 2–3 minutes.
- Add Flour and Stock: Sprinkle flour over mixture and stir to coat evenly. Gradually pour in seafood stock and heavy cream while stirring. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Season and Fill: Add garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir and remove from heat. Transfer filling to prepared baking dish.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: In a bowl, mix biscuit mix, cheddar cheese, and milk until a soft dough forms.
- Assemble and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the filling. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Rest and Serve: Let rest 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For added luxury, include lobster or scallops.
- Seafood stock gives the best flavor, but chicken stock works in a pinch.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free flour and biscuit mix.
