# Steps to Cook:

In a mixing bowl, combine chopped shrimp, lump crab meat, shredded cheese, mayonnaise or cream cheese, garlic powder, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well blended.

Flatten each biscuit round to approximately 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the seafood mixture onto the center. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal, forming filled pockets.
