Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter Provides richness; keep it cold for optimal flavor.
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced) Adds aromatic depth; substitute with garlic powder if needed.
  • 1 small Onion (finely chopped) Enhances the flavor; yellow or sweet onion is best.
  • 1 stalk Celery (diced) Adds crunch and freshness; fennel can be an interesting substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour Thickens the filling; use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
  • 1.5 cups Seafood Stock Enhances seafood flavor; chicken stock works in a pinch.
  • 0.5 cup Heavy Cream Adds creaminess; half-and-half is a lighter alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning Traditional seasoning that complements seafood nicely.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt Basic seasoning for flavor balance.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper Basic seasoning for flavor balance.
  • 0.5 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined) Provides sweetness as the main protein.
  • 0.5 pound Lobster Meat (cooked, chopped) Adds richness; feel free to swap with crab if preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley (chopped) A touch of freshness and color; optional.
For the Biscuit Topping
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Leavens the biscuit for a light texture.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder Boosts biscuit flavor; can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • 0.33 cup Milk Moisten the biscuit dough; plant-based milk works for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 tablespoon Chives or Parsley (optional) Use as a garnish for extra flavor and visual flair.

Method
 

How to Make
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and diced celery. Sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the flour to form a roux; cook for 1 minute.
  4. Whisk in the seafood stock and heavy cream gradually until well combined. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often until slightly thickened.
  5. Season the filling with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add your shrimp and lobster; cook until the shrimp turns pink, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt in a separate bowl for the biscuit topping. Cut in the cold grated butter until crumbly.
  7. Fold in the cheddar cheese and optional herbs. Pour in the milk and mix until just combined.
  8. Spoon the seafood mixture into ramekins or a baking dish. Spread the biscuit dough on top, covering the filling.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuit tops are golden brown. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
