  6. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in the lobster and parsley, then remove from heat.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt for the biscuit topping.
  8. Cut in the cold grated butter until crumbly, then fold in the cheddar cheese and herbs.
  9. Pour in the milk and mix until combined.

  2. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.
