Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate the crescent dough into triangles and arrange them in a circular pattern, with the wide ends overlapping at the center and the pointed ends facing outward like a sunburst.

Spoon the seafood mixture evenly along the inner circle of the dough. Distribute it carefully to create a balanced, continuous ring of filling.

Gently fold the pointed ends of each triangle over the filling and tuck them underneath to form a sealed ring. Brush the surface with beaten egg, then drizzle with melted garlic butter for a glossy, aromatic finish.

Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until deeply golden and crisp. Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, letting the flaky layers and creamy seafood center shine with every bite.
