Ingredients
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk or half-and-half
1/2 cup seafood stock or chicken broth
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined, cooked
1/2 cup lump crab meat, cooked
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
1 package Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk (for biscuit dough)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk to form a roux. Cook for 2 minutes until slightly golden.
3. Gradually pour in the milk and seafood stock, whisking constantly until smooth. Simmer until thickened.
4. Stir in Old Bay seasoning, thyme, and frozen vegetables. Add the cooked shrimp and crab meat. Simmer for 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. In a bowl, mix the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, shredded cheddar, and 1/2 cup milk to form a soft dough.
6. Transfer seafood mixture to a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top, leaving some space between each.
7. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 18–22 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and the filling is bubbling.
8. Let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Make sure the seafood is pre-cooked to avoid undercooking during the short bake time.
Don’t skip the resting time after baking—it helps the filling set properly.
For added depth, use seafood stock instead of chicken broth if available.
