Quick and cheesy shrimp and crab mixture baked inside flaky biscuits, perfect for an appetizer or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (6 ounce) can crab meat, drained and flaked
  • 1 (4 ounce) can small shrimp, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped celery
  • 1 tablespoon chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (16.3 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the drained crab meat, chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, celery, onion, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to your preference. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands.
  5. Place about 2 tablespoons of the shrimp and crab mixture onto one half of each flattened biscuit.
  6. Top the seafood mixture with about 1 teaspoon of Monterey Jack cheese.
  7. Fold the other half of the biscuit over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges if desired.
  8. Place the sealed biscuit melts onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed up.
  10. Serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use fresh, cooked shrimp and crab if preferred. Ensure they are finely chopped.
  • For extra cheesy goodness, add more shredded cheese to the filling or on top before baking.
  • If you don’t have celery or onion, you can omit them or substitute with dried celery flakes and onion powder.
  • Adjust lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce to your taste.
