👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare Biscuits:
   Flatten each biscuit slightly into a 3–4 inch round. Brush lightly with olive oil.
   Bake for 5–7 minutes until just starting to turn golden (they should not be fully cooked yet).

3. Make Seafood Mixture:
   In a bowl, combine shrimp, crab, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, onion, parsley, lemon juice, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy but still slightly chunky.

4. Assemble:
   Spoon seafood mixture evenly over each partially baked biscuit.
   Top with mozzarella, feta, tomatoes, and olives.

5. Bake Again:
   Return to oven and bake 8–10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and biscuits are golden brown underneath.

6. Garnish & Serve:
   Sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley. Serve warm with lemon wedges.

❓ Q & A

Q1: Can I use imitation crab?
Yes, imitation crab works well and is budget-friendly.

Q2: Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prepare the seafood mixture 1 day ahead and refrigerate. Assemble and bake fresh for best texture.

Q3: Can I air fry instead of bake?
Yes! Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 6–8 minutes after assembling, until cheese melts and biscuit is cooked through.

Q4: How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer to keep them crispy.

Q5: Can I make it spicy?
Add red pepper flakes, diced jalapeños, or a drizzle of hot sauce to the seafood mixture.
