Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup seafood or chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
1 cup lump crab meat
2 cups biscuit mix
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2⁄3 cup milk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a casserole dish.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and garlic; sauté until soft.
3. Sprinkle in the flour, stir to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the stock and simmer until thickened.
4. Stir in the heavy cream and season with Old Bay. Simmer gently.
5. Add peas, carrots, shrimp, and crab. Stir and let cook for 2–3 minutes until just heated.
6. Pour seafood mixture into the casserole dish.
7. In a separate bowl, mix biscuit mix, cheddar cheese, parsley, and milk until a soft dough forms.
8. Drop spoonfuls of dough over the filling.
9. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until biscuits are golden and cooked through.
10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
This recipe works great with fresh or frozen seafood — just thaw and drain well.
Don’t overmix the biscuit dough; it’s best when it stays tender.
A touch of lemon zest in the filling adds brightness and enhances the seafood.
