Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups seafood stock (or chicken stock)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp cold butter, grated
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup whole milk (plus 1 tbsp if needed)
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic, onion, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in flour to form a roux and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Slowly whisk in seafood stock and cream. Cook 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Season with Old Bay, salt, and pepper.
  6. Add shrimp and cook until pink, 2–3 minutes. Stir in lobster and parsley. Remove from heat.
  7. Prepare biscuit topping by whisking flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Add grated cold butter and mix until crumbly.
  8. Stir in cheddar and herbs. Add milk and mix just until combined.
  9. Pour seafood filling into a baking dish or ramekins. Drop biscuit dough on top in rustic spoonfuls.
  10. Bake 20–25 minutes, until biscuits are golden.
  11. Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For richer flavor, brush the baked biscuits with melted garlic butter—just like classic cheddar bay biscuits.
