Shrimp & Cheese Biscuits


Ingredients:

4 T. olive oil

4 T. butter

16  large shrimp, peeled and chopped

2 T. Old Bay Seasoning

2 1/2 cups Bisquick

1 cup milk

1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

Pinch of garlic powder

Pinch of ground black pepper

2 tsp. fresh parsley, chopped


Directions:

Heat the oven to 350°F.

In a large skillet, combine the olive oil and butter and bring to high heat

Toss the shrimp in a bowl with the blackened seasoning until well coated

When the oil is hot, fry the shrimp quickly (about 2 minutes per side), turning once

Remove the shrimp with a spatula and set the oil aside to cool for later use

After allowing the shrimp to cool a bit, chop into fairly small pieces

Heat the oven to 350°F.

In a bowl, combine the Bisquick, milk, cheddar, and shrimp and mix until a smooth dough forms.

Drop the dough by the spoonful (about 2 tbl. each) onto an ungreased cookie sheet

Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes

Pour the reserved oil from frying the shrimp into a small bowl and mix in the garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and parsley.

Brush the tops of the hot biscuits with the oil before serving
