Description

Shrimp and Crab Nacho Biscuit Melts are crispy, cheesy, and topped with succulent shrimp, lump crab meat, melted cheddar cheese, and a touch of jalapeños for a perfect seafood-inspired appetizer.


Ingredients

1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough

1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped

1/2 cup lump crab meat

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup diced jalapeños (optional)

1/4 cup sour cream

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Separate the biscuit dough into 8 pieces. Flatten each piece into a 3-inch round and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Top each biscuit with shrimp, lump crab meat, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeños (if using).
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the biscuits are golden brown.
  5. Remove from the oven and garnish with sour cream, a sprinkle of garlic powder, paprika, and fresh cilantro.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy these bite-sized seafood melts!

Notes

  • For a spicier version, increase the jalapeños or drizzle hot sauce on top before serving.
  • Try using a different cheese, like Monterey Jack or mozzarella, for a different flavor profile.
  • Make it vegetarian by replacing the seafood with grilled vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms.
  • For a more filling option, add cooked bacon crumbles or serve with guacamole on the side.
