Ingredients

Scale

Seafood Filling

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound lump crab meat
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups seafood stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Biscuit Topping

  • 1 package Cheddar Bay biscuit mix
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the pot pie later.
  2. Prepare Seafood Filling: In a large skillet, melt ¼ cup butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, approximately 3-4 minutes. Then gently fold in the lump crab meat and frozen mixed vegetables, stirring carefully to combine.
  3. Make the Sauce: Sprinkle ¼ cup all-purpose flour evenly over the seafood mixture and stir to coat everything. Gradually pour in 2 cups seafood stock and 1 cup heavy cream while stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it thicken for about 5 minutes, creating a creamy sauce.
  4. Season the Filling: Add 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, plus salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly, then remove the skillet from heat.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the prepared seafood filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or a large oven-safe skillet, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Prepare Biscuit Topping: In a mixing bowl, combine the entire package of Cheddar Bay biscuit mix with ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese and ¾ cup milk. Stir gently until a cohesive dough forms.
  7. Top the Filling: Spoon dollops of biscuit dough over the seafood filling, covering it as evenly as possible to create the biscuit crust.
  8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Cool: Remove the pot pie from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes. This resting time allows the filling to set for easier serving.
  10. Serve: Serve generous portions of this comforting Cheddar Bay Biscuit Seafood Pot Pie and enjoy the rich combination of creamy seafood and cheesy biscuits.

Notes

  • You can substitute seafood stock with clam juice or fish broth if unavailable.
  • For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free biscuit mix and flour alternative.
  • Adjust seasoning to your preference; adding a pinch of cayenne pepper can add a subtle heat.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated covered in the oven to maintain biscuit texture.
  • Make sure to let the pot pie cool before serving to avoid burns from the hot filling.
