🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 green onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ½ tsp Old Bay seasoning
• Salt & pepper, to taste

For the Dough:

For the Garlic Butter Topping:

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 clove garlic, grated or finely minced
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tbsp grated Parmesan (optional)
• Pinch of salt

🧰 Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowl
• Baking sheet
• Pastry brush
• Small saucepan (for butter)
• Parchment paper or silicone mat

🔁 Ingredient Additions & Swaps

• No shrimp? Use all crab, or try cooked scallops or crawfish!
• Cheese swap: Try cheddar, pepper jack, or a seafood blend.
• Spicy version: Add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
• Garlic overload (yes please): Add a pinch of garlic powder into the filling for extra punch.

👩‍🍳 How to Make Crabby Shrimp-Stuffed Garlic Bread Bombs

Step-by-Step Instructions:

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

2. Make the seafood filling. In a bowl, combine shrimp, crab meat, cream cheese, mozzarella, green onion, garlic, Old Bay, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until fully combined and creamy.

3. Divide and flatten the dough. Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each round into about a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.

4. Fill and seal the bombs. Spoon about 1–2 tablespoons of filling into the center of each dough round. Fold up the edges and pinch to seal, forming a ball. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

5. Make the garlic butter. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

6. Brush and bake. Brush each bomb generously with garlic butter. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Optional: sprinkle Parmesan over the top in the last 3–5 minutes of baking.

7. Serve warm! Let cool for a few minutes, then serve with marinara, ranch, or just as they are. They’re magic either way.

🍽 What to Serve With Garlic Bread Bombs

These work as both a snack and a light dinner! Try them with:

• Side salad with lemon vinaigrette
• Roasted asparagus or green beans
• Creamy tomato soup
• Dipping sauces: garlic aioli, spicy marinara, or herbed cream cheese

🧊 Storage & Reheating

To store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To reheat: Warm in a 350°F oven for 6–8 minutes or in an air fryer for 3–4 minutes. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the outside crisp.

To freeze: Assemble the bombs and freeze unbaked on a tray. Once solid, transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen at 375°F for 20–22 minutes.
