11 - 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika
12 - 1 tsp of dried tarragon
13 - 1 tbsp garlic, minced or paste
14 - 1 cup heavy cream
15 - 1 tsp thyme

22 - 1 pouch garlic herb mix from biscuit box
23 - 1/4 cup melted butter

# Steps:

01 - In a heated pan with olive oil, stir-fry shrimp and langostino for a couple of minutes with some salt and pepper, then take them out. Toss in the onions, celery, and bell peppers next, cooking until the onions look soft and clear (about 4-5 minutes).
02 - Lower the stove to medium-low. Pop the butter in and let it melt before stirring in the flour to coat the veggies. Pour in the chicken broth to loosen everything up and simmer gently. Stir in the cream, plus garlic, thyme, tarragon, salt, pepper, and paprika. Finally, mix in the shrimp, langostino, and crab carefully and take off the heat.
03 - Stir together the pouch seasoning and melted butter in a small bowl. Set the mixture aside.
04 - Put the biscuit mix in a bowl with the shredded cheese and milk. Stir with a fork until the mixture looks rough and clumpy, but don't overdo it.
05 - Set your oven to 425°F. Put the seafood and veggie mix into a baking dish or split it among 6 ramekins. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough on top. Pop everything on a tray and bake until the biscuits turn golden and are fully cooked—around 14-16 minutes.
06 - Right after you take the dish out of the oven, brush the biscuit tops with the herb butter. Serve while warm.
