Ingredients
Scale
Seafood Filling
- 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1/2 cup lump crab meat
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 green onion, finely sliced
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Dough & Topping
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, lump crab meat, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, finely sliced green onion, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Shape Dough: Flatten each biscuit dough into a 4-inch diameter circle using your hands or a rolling pin for even thickness.
- Fill and Seal: Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the seafood mixture into the center of each dough circle. Carefully gather the edges up around the filling, pinching together to seal and form a ball. Place each ball seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley (if using) to create a flavorful garlic butter mixture.
- Brush Dough Balls: Generously brush the garlic butter over each stuffed dough ball to enhance flavor and promote browning during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the bread bombs are puffed up and golden brown.
- Final Touch: For extra flavor, brush with additional garlic butter immediately after baking. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Make sure to seal the dough balls tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling mixture.
- These can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 4 hours before baking.
- Leftover garlic butter can be stored in the fridge and reheated for future use.
- Serve with a side of marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping if desired.
