Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 chopped onion, and 1 diced celery stalk. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Sprinkle in ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of seafood stock and 1 cup of heavy cream. Cook for 5-7 minutes to thicken.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, and season with salt and pepper. Fold in 1 pound of raw shrimp and 1 cup of cooked lobster meat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Cut in ½ cup of cold unsalted butter until resembling coarse crumbs.
  7. Mix in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and add ¾ cup of milk, stirring until just combined.
  8. Evenly spoon the creamy seafood filling into individual ramekins or a large baking dish. Drop biscuit dough over the top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuit topping is golden-brown.
  10. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
