Ingredients
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 pound lobster meat, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup seafood or chicken broth
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 can biscuit dough or homemade equivalent
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the shrimp and lobster by cutting them into bite-sized pieces and patting dry.
2. In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic and shallots until soft and fragrant.
3. Stir in flour to create a roux, then slowly whisk in broth and heavy cream until smooth.
4. Season with thyme, salt, pepper, and simmer until thickened.
5. Gently fold in shrimp and lobster. Add lemon juice. Cook just until shrimp begin to turn pink.
6. Spoon the filling into ramekins or a large baking dish.
7. Top with biscuit dough and brush with cream or melted butter.
8. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.
9. Let cool slightly before serving.
10. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Use cold biscuit dough for the fluffiest, golden topping.
You can substitute lobster with scallops or extra shrimp if needed.
Don’t overcook the seafood before baking—let the oven finish the job.
