Ingredients

– 3/4 cup lump crab meat
– 4 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

– 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count)
– 3 tbsp melted butter
– 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
1-Getting these Crabby Shrimp Garlic Bombs just right: is easier than you think, and I’ll walk you through it with simple steps that even beginners can follow. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F to ensure everything bakes evenly. This method keeps the flavors locked in, making it a go-to for home cooks aiming for that golden, crispy finish.
2-First, mix together 1 cup cooked shrimp (chopped), 3/4 cup lump crab meat, 4 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste. This creates a savory filling that’s bursting with seafood goodness. Next, flatten each piece of the refrigerated biscuit dough into disks, then add a spoonful of the mixture onto each.
3-Seal the edges tightly: to prevent any leaks, and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet for even cooking. Brush the tops with a mixture of 3 tbsp melted butter and 1/2 tsp garlic powder for that extra flavor boost. Bake for 14-16 minutes until they’re golden and bubbly, then optionally brush again with butter and sprinkle 2 tbsp grated parmesan.
4-Tips for Success: * Chill the assembled bombs for 10 minutes before baking to help them hold their shape.* Seal the dough tightly and avoid overfilling to keep the filling inside.* For make-ahead meals, assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 2 months, adding 4-5 minutes to bake time if frozen.
5-Once baked, let them cool for 5 minutes before serving it’s that simple! This approach works great for busy parents who need quick family dinners.
