- Make the Creamy Gravy:
- Lower heat to medium-low. Add butter and stir until melted. Sprinkle in flour, stirring constantly until flour is absorbed. Deglaze with chicken broth and bring to a light simmer. Stir in heavy cream. Add garlic, thyme, tarragon, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for 2–3 minutes, then gently fold in seafood. Remove from heat.
- Mix the Biscuit Topping:
- In a bowl, combine biscuit mix, cheddar cheese, and milk. Stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms—do not overmix.
- Prepare the Herb Butter:
- Mix melted butter with the garlic herb seasoning pouch in a small bowl.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Transfer seafood filling to a baking dish or divide into 6 ramekins. Top with biscuit dough. Place on a baking tray and bake for 14–16 minutes or until golden.
- Finish & Serve:
