Instructions

- In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Add 1/2 cup of chilled, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture.
- Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

- Gradually add 3/4 cup of milk, mixing until a dough forms.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently a few times.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Cut the dough into circles using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
- Place a peeled and deveined shrimp in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the dough around the shrimp to form a ball, pinching the edges to seal.
- Place the stuffed dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

- Handle cold butter minimally for flaky biscuits.
- Adjust garlic ranch dip seasoning to taste.
