Ingredients
Scale
1 tbsp unsalted butter
½ lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined
½ cup onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup seafood stock (or chicken stock)
Salt & cracked black pepper, to taste
½ cup frozen peas or mixed veggies (optional)
1 can buttery biscuit dough (or 4 homemade biscuits)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened.
Add shrimp and cook just until pink, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to remove raw taste. Gradually whisk in cream and stock, simmering until the sauce thickens.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in peas or vegetables if using.
Divide the shrimp mixture into ramekins or a baking dish.
Top with biscuit dough and brush with melted butter if desired.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes, or until biscuits are golden and filling is bubbly.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Use seafood or chicken stock depending on what you have on hand.
Frozen mixed vegetables add color and texture to the dish.
Homemade biscuits can be used for a more rustic touch.
Ensure shrimp are not overcooked; they should just turn pink before baking.
