Biscuit Dough
  • 1 can refrigerated flaky biscuit dough
Filling
  • 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped Use drained, firm shrimp.
  • 1/2 cup cooked lump crab meat Avoid extra moisture.

  • 1 tbsp butter, melted For brushing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix chopped shrimp, crab, cheese, mayo (or cream cheese), garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper to make the filling.
  2. Flatten each biscuit into a 4–5 inch round.
  3. Scoop 1–2 tablespoons of the filling into the center, fold, and seal edges.
Baking
  1. Place stuffed biscuits seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  2. Brush tops with melted butter.
  3. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 13–15 minutes until golden brown.

Notes
