👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Make the filling: In a bowl, mix together shrimp, crab, cream cheese, mayo, shredded cheese, green onions, minced garlic, and seasonings until well combined.

3. Form the bombs: Flatten each biscuit or dough piece into a small circle. Spoon a tablespoon of filling into the center. Fold up the sides and pinch to seal, forming a ball.

4. Brush with garlic butter: Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley, then brush each dough ball generously.

5. Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. If using Parmesan, sprinkle it on during the last 5 minutes of baking.

6. Serve warm with extra garlic butter or a side of cocktail sauce.
