Shrimp and Crab Stuffed Crescent Bombs are golden, buttery crescent dough balls filled with a creamy seafood mixture, perfect for parties or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

  • 1 (8‑oz) can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8‑count)
  • ½ cup cooked shrimp, finely chopped
  • ½ cup crab meat (lump or imitation), shredded
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chopped green onion or parsley
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning or garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and line a baking sheet.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise (if using), garlic, green onion or parsley, Old Bay or garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles.
  4. Spoon a portion of the seafood mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
  5. Fold the corners inward and roll to form a sealed ball—pinch edges to seal.
  6. Place each ball seam-side down on the prepared sheet.
  7. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder.
  8. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the bombs are puffed and golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly, then serve warm—great with marinara, garlic aioli, or spicy mayo.

Notes

  • Spicy twist: Add a pinch of chili powder or use pepper jack cheese.
  • Cheese boost: Mix in shredded mozzarella or Parmesan for extra gooeyness.
  • Seafood mix: Use a blend of fresh shrimp and lump crab, or go budget-friendly by adding some imitation crab.
  • Dough alternatives: Try pizza dough or garlic bread dough for different textures.
  • Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven or air fryer.
