Print Recipe

Each bite is brushed with garlic butter and parsley for classic garlic bread flavor, with a luxurious seafood twist. Perfect for holiday parties, game day, or anytime you need an appetizer that impresses.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • ½ cup lump crab meat (or imitation crab if preferred)
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Optional: additional shredded cheese for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, chopped shrimp, crab meat, green onion, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, and shredded mozzarella until fully combined.
  • Flatten each biscuit dough piece slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.
  • Spoon a generous tablespoon of the seafood mixture into the center of each biscuit round.
  • Carefully pinch and seal the dough around the filling to form a ball. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley.
  • Brush the tops of each dough ball with the garlic butter mixture.
  • Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Optionally, sprinkle with extra shredded cheese during the last 2 minutes of baking for a cheesy top.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice or zest to the seafood filling.

  • Swap mozzarella with pepper jack for a spicy kick.

  • To make gluten-free, use a gluten-free biscuit dough substitute.

  • Freeze leftovers in a single layer, then store in a zip-top bag.

  • Always use fully cooked shrimp to save prep time and ensure safety.
