Ingredients
Seafood Filling
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely diced
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 carrot, diced small
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 cups seafood or chicken stock
½ cup heavy cream
1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)
½ tsp Old Bay seasoning
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 oz lump crab meat
4 oz lobster or langostino tails, chopped (optional)
Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Biscuit Topping
1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (with seasoning packet)
½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a casserole dish.
In a skillet, melt butter and sauté onion, celery, and carrot for 4–5 minutes. Stir in garlic for 30 seconds.
Add flour and cook 1 minute, then mix in tomato paste.
Gradually whisk in stock, simmer until slightly thickened. Stir in cream.
Season with thyme, Old Bay, peas, and corn. Simmer gently 2–3 minutes.
Add shrimp, crab, and lobster. Cook until shrimp turn pink, about 3 minutes. Transfer filling to baking dish.
In a bowl, prepare Cheddar Bay biscuit mix per package directions. Stir in cheddar.
Drop spoonfuls of dough over filling.
Bake 25–30 minutes, until biscuits are golden and filling is bubbling.
Mix garlic powder with melted butter. Brush biscuits after baking and sprinkle with parsley. Serve warm.
Notes
Seafood swaps: scallops, cod, or clams work beautifully.
Lighter option: use half-and-half instead of cream.
Make-ahead: prepare filling 1 day in advance, refrigerate, and add biscuit topping before baking.
Leftovers: store covered in fridge up to 3 days, reheat at 325°F for crisp biscuits.
