- 2 cups (480 milliliters) milk
- 1 stick (113 grams) butter, melted

Instructions
- Ignite the oven to 350°F, positioning the rack in the center. Lavishly coat a 13 x 9-inch baking vessel with nonstick spray to ensure effortless release.

- Drizzle melted butter across the prepared baking dish, creating a glistening base layer. Distribute thawed shrimp in an even, elegant pattern, then cascade diced imitation crab meat atop the seafood landscape.
- Gently cascade the broth-soup fusion over the seafood, ensuring complete coverage. Dust the surface with Cajun seasoning, allowing the spices to dance across the marine terrain.
- Scatter frozen peas like emerald jewels across the seasoned seafood canvas. Crown the creation by spreading the reserved biscuit batter, completely veiling the underlying ingredients.
- Slide the casserole into the heated oven, allowing it to transform for 45-60 minutes. The dish is ready when the center sets firmly and the top achieves a golden, appetizing complexion.
