The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients. I always say, start with the freshest seafood you can find, and let it shine. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup lump crab meat
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Feel free to swap out the cheddar for your favorite cheese or add a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Fold in the shrimp, crab meat, cheddar cheese, and parsley, stirring until well combined.
- Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon the seafood mixture generously onto each biscuit, spreading it to the edges.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the topping is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
