Equipment

Ingredients

Seafood Filling

6 oz lump crab meat
6 oz cooked baby shrimp drained and rinsed, if using canned
6 oz baby clams reserve juice
12 oz cooked crawfish tails or chopped lobster tails
1 cup chopped celery
8 oz water chestnuts drained and chopped
¼ onion diced
½ teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup mayonnaise
¼ cup white wine or use lemon juice
salt and white pepper to taste

Biscuit Topping

11.36 oz Red Lobster Cheddar Bay biscuit mix
¼ cup butter melted

Garnish

1 lemon sliced into wedges
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Old Bay seasoning optional
2 tablespoon parsley optional for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425ºF and grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
Prepare seafood filling. In a large mixing bowl, add the seafood, celery, water chestnuts, red onion, garlic, clam juice, mayo, white wine, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
Transfer mixture to your greased casserole dish.
Prepare biscuit mix. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix with the cheddar cheese and ¾ cup of water. Stir until everything comes together into a dough.
Spoon dollops of the biscuit dough on top of the seafood mixture. You should get about 8-10 biscuits.
Bake. Place casserole in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350ºF, cover the casserole dish loosely with foil, and bake for another 20 minutes.
Add butter glaze. Melt butter in a bowl. Add the seasoning packet from the biscuit mix box and stir well.
Brush garlic and herb butter all over the top of the casserole while it’s fresh out of the oven.
Garnish and serve. Scoop portions into a bowl or plate and serve with lemon wedges, Old Bay seasoning, and a sprinkle of parsley, if desired.

Notes

In place of mayonnaise, you could also use a simple white sauce.
