Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Melt butter in a saucepan and sauté garlic, onion, and celery for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.
Whisk in seafood stock and heavy cream, cooking until thickened for 5-7 minutes.
Season with Old Bay, salt, and pepper; fold in shrimp and lobster, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt for the biscuits.
Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then add cheese and herbs.
Mix in milk until a sticky dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
Spoon the seafood mixture into dishes, then drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown.
Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
