Steps
- In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate any raw flour taste. Gradually add broth and heavy cream, whisking until smooth. Stir in paprika and Old Bay seasoning, then simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Gently fold in shrimp, crab meat, frozen peas, and chopped parsley. Cook just until the shrimp turns pink, then remove from heat, allowing the mixture to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese. Then, add melted butter and buttermilk, mixing until just combined; overmixing can lead to tough biscuits.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the seafood filling into a greased baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the filling, making sure to cover most of the surface. Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish.
- Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. You'll know it's done when the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the biscuits brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil.
- Once baked, let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle. Garnish with extra parsley or cheese if desired for an added touch.
