Prepare biscuit dough. Pat dough 1/4-inch thick, and cut 12 rounds with 3-inch biscuit cutter. Place 6 rounds in shallow baking pan, brush with melted butter, and cover with remaining rounds. Bake in hot oven (425 to 450 degrees) for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, make a roux of butter and flour, add milk gradually, and cook until thickened. Add shrimp, season, and simmer 2 minutes.
Add cucumber and wine, and reheat just to simmering. Separate biscuit halves, cover bottom halves with shrimp mixture, lay on top halves, and cover with mixture. Serves 6.
Any shell fish or flaked fish may be substituted for shrimp.
