Directions

Seafood & Vegetable Filling: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables soften. Stir in shrimp, langostino, and crabmeat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes.

Herb Butter Sauce: Mix the melted butter with the garlic herb seasoning from the biscuit mix. This will be brushed on top later.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
