Ingredients
0.5 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
0.5 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup diced onion
0.5 cup diced celery
0.5 cup diced carrots
2 cloves garlic, minced
0.25 cup all-purpose flour
1.5 cups seafood stock or chicken broth
0.5 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
0.5 cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. Melt butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until softened, about 5–6 minutes.
2. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables. Stir to coat evenly and cook for 2 minutes.
4. Gradually whisk in seafood stock while stirring constantly. Simmer until slightly thickened.
5. Stir in heavy cream, Old Bay seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 3 minutes.
6. Add shrimp and lobster. Cook until just opaque, about 2–3 minutes.
7. Fold in frozen peas and parsley. Remove skillet from heat.
8. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Top the filling evenly with biscuit dough.
9. Brush biscuits with beaten egg for a golden finish.
10. Bake uncovered for 18–22 minutes, or until biscuits are puffed and golden and filling is bubbling.
11. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Be sure to pat dry shrimp and lobster before cooking to avoid excess liquid.
You can prep the filling ahead and refrigerate; just add biscuits before baking.
Swap seafood stock with chicken broth if needed, but seafood stock adds extra depth.
