Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 diced onion, and 1 chopped celery stalk. Cook for about 5 minutes, until softened.
  3. Sprinkle in ¼ cup of all-purpose flour and cook for an additional minute to make a roux.
  4. Slowly whisk in 2 cups of seafood stock and 1 cup of heavy cream. Cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir well.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of shrimp and 1 cup of lobster. Cook for 2-3 minutes until shrimp turn pink. Stir in ¼ cup of parsley.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  8. Cut in ½ cup of grated cold butter until crumbly. Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
  9. Gradually mix in ¾ cup of whole milk until a sticky dough forms.
  10. Spoon the seafood mixture into a baking dish. Drop biscuit dough on top.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes until biscuits are golden brown.
  12. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
