🛒 Ingredients

For the Seafood Filling:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups seafood or chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup lump or claw crab meat
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 1/2 cup diced carrots
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

For the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping:

• 1 package Cheddar Bay biscuit mix
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Sauté the Aromatics

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

2. Make the Creamy Seafood Sauce

Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir continuously for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the seafood or chicken broth, followed by the heavy cream. Season with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce becomes smooth and thick.

3. Add the Seafood

Gently fold in the shrimp, crab meat, peas, carrots, and fresh parsley. Cook for about 2 minutes, just until everything is heated through. Transfer the filling to individual ramekins or a lightly greased baking dish.

4. Prepare the Biscuit Topping

In a mixing bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix, shredded cheddar cheese, cold water, and garlic powder. Stir until a soft dough forms. Spoon the biscuit dough evenly over the seafood filling without pressing it down.

5. Bake Until Golden

Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is puffed and beautifully golden brown. Brush with melted butter immediately after baking and garnish with chopped chives, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy every creamy, cheesy bite.
