Ingredients
-
1 can refrigerated flaky biscuit dough
-
½ cup cooked shrimp, chopped
-
½ cup cooked lump crab meat
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
-
2 tablespoons mayonnaise or cream cheese (for extra creaminess)
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
-
1 tablespoon butter, melted (for brushing)
Optional Dips:

Directions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Make the Seafood Filling
In a bowl, mix shrimp, crab, cheese, mayo (or cream cheese), garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined. The filling should be creamy but not runny.
3️⃣ Flatten the Biscuits
Separate biscuit dough and flatten each one into a 4–5 inch round.
4️⃣ Fill & Seal
Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of seafood filling into the center of each biscuit. Fold edges up and pinch tightly to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
5️⃣ Brush & Bake
Brush tops with melted butter. Bake for 13–15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
6️⃣ Cool Slightly & Serve
Let rest 3–5 minutes before serving—centers will be hot and melty.
