Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, 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, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter, grated
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ⅓ cup whole milk (plus 1 tablespoon if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic, onion, and celery. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in the seafood stock and cream. Stir until smooth and slightly thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Season the mixture with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  6. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until they turn pink. Stir in the lobster and parsley, then remove from heat.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the 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 until just combined; the dough should remain sticky.
  10. Spoon the seafood mixture into ramekins or a baking dish, then drop the biscuit dough over it, spreading it gently.
  11. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.
  12. Allow the dish to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
