🔥 How to Make It 🔥
1. Prepare the Seafood:
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Season shrimp and langostino with salt and pepper, then sear for 2 to 3 minutes until just cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Build the Vegetable Base:
In the same pan, sauté onion, bell pepper, and celery until softened and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Compose the Gravy:
Lower the heat to medium-low and add butter. Once melted, stir in flour until fully absorbed. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then heavy cream. Season with garlic, thyme, tarragon, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, then gently fold in shrimp, langostino, and crab. Remove from heat.
4. Prepare the Biscuit Topping:
In a bowl, combine the biscuit mix, shredded cheddar, and milk. Stir gently just until a shaggy dough forms, taking care not to overmix.
5. Assemble and Bake:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Transfer the seafood filling to a baking dish or individual ramekins. Spoon biscuit dough over the top. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until the biscuits are golden and cooked through. Brush immediately with the herb butter sauce and serve warm.
