Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine shrimp, lump crab meat, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated biscuit dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Spoon a generous amount of the seafood filling into the center of each biscuit circle.
  5. Fold the biscuit dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal.
  6. Arrange the filled biscuits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter.
  7. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown.
  8. Allow to cool slightly before garnishing with chopped parsley.
