⭐ 4.8 rating (16 reviews) · Seafood Main Dish · Comfort Food Bake

Ingredients

For the Seafood Filling:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1 small onion, chopped very finely
• 1 celery stalk, diced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1½ cups seafood stock (or chicken stock)
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• ½ pound cooked lobster meat, roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

For the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons cold butter, grated
• ½ cup sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
• ⅓ cup whole milk (plus 1 tablespoon if needed)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add garlic, onion, and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
4. Slowly whisk in the seafood stock followed by the cream. Cook, stirring, until smooth and slightly thickened, 5–7 minutes.
5. Season the sauce with Old Bay, salt, and black pepper.
6. Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes until just pink. Stir in the lobster and parsley, then remove from heat.
7. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt for the biscuit topping.
8. Cut in the grated cold butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the Cheddar cheese and herbs.
9. Add the milk and mix just until combined. The dough will be sticky.
10. Spoon the seafood filling into ramekins or a baking dish. Drop biscuit dough over the top and gently spread.
11. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.
12. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Frozen seafood should be thawed and patted dry before cooking.

You may substitute extra shrimp or crab if lobster is unavailable.

The filling can be prepared up to one day in advance and refrigerated before baking.
