Ingredients Breakdown
Let’s break down what goes into this savory masterpiece. You’ll be making three components: the biscuit dough, the crab filling, and the lemon butter topping.For the Biscuits:
1 package Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (such as Red Lobster brand)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (for added herb flavor)
Pro Tip: You can also make your own biscuit base from scratch using flour, baking powder, butter, and cheddar cheese — but the mix saves time and delivers consistent flavor.

¼ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
½+ cup mayonnaise (add more if needed for creaminess)
1 tablespoon yellow or Dijon mustard

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Note: For a deeper seafood flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of Old Bay seasoning.

Melted butter, as needed (about 2–3 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
