Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 chopped small onion, and 1 diced celery stalk. Sauté for 5 minutes until soft.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to form a roux. Gradually whisk in 1½ cups of seafood stock and ½ cup of heavy cream. Stir for 5–7 minutes until thickened and creamy.
- Season with 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Add ½ pound of peeled shrimp and cook until pink. Stir in ½ pound of lobster and 1 tablespoon of parsley.
- Combine 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons of cold butter until crumbly.
- Add ½ cup of cheddar cheese and herbs to the mixture. Pour in ⅓ cup of milk and mix until just combined. The dough should be sticky.
- Spoon the creamy filling into a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the top, leaving gaps for steam.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and risen. Watch carefully to avoid overbaking.
- Allow to rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy layers of creamy filling and crispy biscuit.

Don’t overcook seafood; use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
