Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 1 lb frozen cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail off, thawed
- 3 oz imitation crab meat, diced
- 1 cup peas, frozen
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 2–3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
Instructions
- Preparing the Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Mixing the Biscuit Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix, the included seasoning packet, and milk. Stir until well combined and then set it aside.
- Preparing the Soup Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth and cream of mushroom soup until smooth. This mixture will form the creamy base of the casserole.
- Assembling the Casserole: Layering the Seafood: Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish. Arrange the thawed shrimp evenly on the bottom, and then add the diced imitation crab meat over the shrimp. Adding Soup and Seasoning: Carefully pour the soup and broth mixture over the seafood layers. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning evenly across the seafood. Adding Peas and Biscuit Mix: Scatter the frozen peas over the seasoned seafood. Finally, spread the prepared biscuit batter over the top, covering the peas and seafood completely.
- Baking: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
