Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Sear the seafood: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and langostino tails, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque.
  2. Sauté the veggies: Add olive oil if needed, then toss in onions, bell peppers, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Make the gravy: Add butter, let melt, then sprinkle in flour. Gradually pour in chicken broth while whisking. Let simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in heavy cream, garlic, thyme, tarragon, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  4. Combine: Return seafood to the gravy mixture, stir gently to coat. Warm through on low heat for 2 minutes before transferring to a baking dish.
  5. Prepare biscuit topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix with milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix gently until just combined.
  6. Assemble and bake: Preheat oven to 425°F. Spoon warm seafood mixture into ramekins or baking dish, dollop biscuit dough on top, and bake for 14-16 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Finish with herb butter sauce: Combine melted butter with garlic herb seasoning, brush over hot biscuits.
