Savory Shrimp & Crab Biscuit Melts
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 tube (8 count) Refrigerated flaky biscuits (or homemade!) 🥯
- ½ lb Small shrimp, peeled and deveined 🍤
- ½ lb Lump crab meat (drained) 🦀
- 1 ½ cups Shredded Mozzarella or Gruyère cheese 🧀
- 4 tbsp Butter, melted 🧈
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced 🧄
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise (for extra creaminess!) 🥣
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning or lemon pepper ✨
- Fresh parsley & chives, chopped 🌿
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Filling: In a medium bowl, gently toss the shrimp and crab meat with mayonnaise, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, and half of the shredded cheese. 🍤🦀🥣
- The Biscuit Base: Split each uncooked biscuit in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 🥯📏
- Load ‘Em Up: Scoop a generous amount of the seafood mixture onto each biscuit bottom. Pile it high—the more, the merrier! 🥄🤤✨
- Extra Cheesy: Top the seafood with the remaining shredded cheese. 🧀👑
- Seal the Deal: Place the biscuit tops over the cheese. Brush the tops generously with melted butter and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. 🧈🌿🤝
- Bake to Perfection: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown, the shrimp is pink and cooked, and the cheese is bubbly and oozing out the sides. ⏲️🔥🎯
- Serve: Let them cool for just a minute (if you can wait!) and serve warm. 🍽️😋
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Melty” Secret: Using a mix of Mozzarella for the stretch and Gruyère for the flavor makes these melts taste incredibly gourmet! 🧀💎
- Don’t Overcrowd: Make sure your shrimp are small so they cook through at the same rate the biscuit browns! 🍤🛡️🎯
