What comes to mind when you think of Red Lobster? Hmm?

It’s something other than a red lobster, isn’t it?

For me, it’s crab legs and Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Those piping hot, melt-in-your-mouth nuggets of goodness have been greeted with squeals of delight from my girls. I was squealing on the inside. Promise!

So when I decided to serve shrimp and baked potatoes for dinner, what recipe did I search for? Right, you are!

Let’s start the week right with a recipe for cheesy garlicy biscuits, a pretty good rendition of Red Lobster’s own.

Instructions

Blend Bisquick and cold butter together with a pastry knife until combined and the butter pieces are about the size of a pea

Drop by spoonful onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden brown
Mix garlic and salt into melted butter. Brush mixture over warm biscuits before serving.

One note. My recipe adds salt, but it can be omitted if you’re watching that sort of thing or don’t favor salty bread.

Enjoy!
