Notes
To ensure your Shrimp and Crab Biscuit Melts turn out perfectly, consider these helpful tips:
– Select fresh, high-quality shrimp and crab meat for the best flavor and texture. Avoid any seafood that has a strong fishy odor.
– Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as pepper jack or gouda, to alter the flavor profile. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a spicy kick.
– Leftover biscuit melts can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through, to maintain their crisp texture.
