Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 finely chopped onion, and 1 diced stalk of celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, stirring for about 1 minute to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in 1.5 cups of seafood stock and 0.5 cup of heavy cream, cooking for 5-7 minutes until it thickens.
Add 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well.
Fold in 0.5 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp and cook until they turn pink (about 2-3 minutes). Add 0.5 pound of chopped cooked lobster meat and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of salt.
Cut in 2 tablespoons of grated cold butter until resembling coarse crumbs. Stir in 0.5 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
Incorporate about 0.33 cup of whole milk into the mixture until just combined.
Spoon the filling into baking dish, and drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown.
Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
