Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your mixing bowl and all ingredients for the filling.
  2. Combine the peeled shrimp, lump crab meat, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Open your refrigerated biscuit dough and gently separate each biscuit. Place them on a lightly floured surface.
  4. Flatten each biscuit to about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Spoon a generous amount of the shrimp and crab mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit.
  6. Fold the edges of each biscuit over the filling, carefully pinching the seams to seal them tightly.
  7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the sealed biscuits on it, spaced apart.
  8. Melt some butter and brush the tops of each biscuit with it.
  9. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Garnish each melt with fresh parsley and serve warm.
