Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (6 ounce) can crab meat, drained and flaked
  • 1/2 pound cooked small shrimp, peeled and deveined, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (16.3 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the drained crab meat, chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, celery, onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until combined.
  4. Separate the biscuit dough. Flatten each biscuit slightly.
  5. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the shrimp and crab mixture onto one half of each flattened biscuit.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the filling.
  7. Fold the other half of the biscuit dough over the filling, pressing the edges to seal.
  8. Place the sealed biscuit melts on an ungreased baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use fresh crab meat and shrimp instead of canned.
  • Ensure the biscuit edges are well-sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • If you prefer a crispier topping, you can broil the melts for the last minute of baking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
