Ingredients
Scale
Seafood and Vegetables
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 oz langostino or lobster
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- ½ cup bell pepper, chopped
Gravy
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tbsp butter
- 5 tbsp flour
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp tarragon
Biscuit Topping
- 1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup melted butter
Instructions
- Cook Seafood: Cook the peeled and deveined shrimp along with the langostino or lobster in a skillet until just done, then set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onions and bell peppers until they become soft and fragrant, usually around 5 minutes.
- Make Gravy: Melt butter in the skillet, then whisk in flour and cook briefly to make a roux. Gradually add chicken broth and heavy cream, whisking until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency. Stir in minced garlic, thyme, and tarragon to season.
- Combine Seafood and Gravy: Add the cooked shrimp and langostino or lobster to the gravy mixture, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
- Prepare Biscuit Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix with milk and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing, keeping the dough light and fluffy.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the seafood and gravy filling into a baking dish or individual ramekins. Spread the biscuit dough evenly over the top. Brush with melted butter for extra flavor. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 14-16 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden and cooked through.
Notes
- Do not overmix the biscuit dough to ensure soft and fluffy biscuits.
- Add garlic herb butter on top of biscuits before baking for extra flavor.
- Frozen seafood may be used but should be thawed completely before cooking.
- This dish is calorie-dense and best enjoyed occasionally.
- Vegetarian version can be made by substituting seafood with mushrooms, potatoes, and carrots.
- To add a spicy kick, include cayenne pepper in the gravy.
- You can prepare the filling and biscuit topping ahead of time; assemble and bake when ready.
