 Ingredients & What They Do

For the Seafood Filling:

• ½ cup lump crab meat – Sweet, tender, and full of ocean flavor. Go for real crab, not imitation, for best results.

• ½ cup small cooked shrimp (chopped) – Adds texture and mild sweetness to complement the crab.

• 4 oz cream cheese (softened) – Creamy base that holds everything together.

• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella – Melts beautifully inside the bombs.

• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese – Adds a nutty, salty richness.

• 1 green onion (thinly sliced) – Fresh bite and color.

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice – Brightens the richness of the filling.

• ½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning – Classic seafood seasoning for that signature flavor.

• Salt & black pepper – To taste.

For the Bread Bombs:

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count) – Flaky, buttery, and perfect for stuffing.

• 1 egg (beaten) – For brushing and sealing the edges.

For the Garlic Butter Topping:

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted) – Creates the golden, toasty crust.

• 2 cloves garlic (minced) – Brings bold, aromatic flavor.

• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley – For freshness and visual pop.

• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan – Melts and crisps on top for bonus flavor.

 Step-by-Step Instructions

 1. Make the Crab & Shrimp Filling

In a medium bowl, mix together:

• Cream cheese, crab meat, chopped shrimp, mozzarella, Parmesan, green onion, lemon juice, Old Bay, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

• Stir until creamy and well combined.

• Chill for 10–15 minutes while you prep the dough — this makes the mixture easier to handle.

 2. Prep the Dough

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Lightly flour your work surface.

• Flatten each biscuit round into a 4–5 inch circle using your fingers or a rolling pin.

 3. Stuff & Seal the Bombs

• Spoon about 1 tablespoon of seafood filling into the center of each dough round.

• Pull the edges up around the filling and pinch tightly to seal.

• Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

 4. Brush & Bake

• Brush the tops of each bomb with beaten egg.

• Bake for 14–17 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

 5. Make the Garlic Butter & Finish

• In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, and Parmesan.

• Brush generously over the bombs as soon as they come out of the oven.

• Let cool slightly before serving.
