Ingredients

Scale

For The Seafood Filling:

  • 2 cups seafood mix (shrimp, scallops, and crab)
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups seafood stock (or chicken broth)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For The Biscuit Topping:

  • 1 package Cheddar Bay biscuit mix (includes dry biscuit mix and seasoning)
  • 1/2 cup milk (for biscuit mix)

Optional:

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s ready to bake the pot pie after you finish preparing the filling.
  2. Cook the Aromatics: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes, to build a fragrant base.
  3. Add the Seafood: Stir in the seafood mix and cook for another 3-4 minutes until just cooked through, taking care not to overcook to avoid toughness.
  4. Thicken the Mixture: Sprinkle in the flour and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste and start thickening the sauce.
  5. Create the Sauce: Gradually pour in the seafood stock while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Flavor It Up: Add heavy cream, Old Bay seasoning, frozen peas and carrots, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer on low for 5-7 minutes to thicken. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted for a rich, cheesy filling.
  7. Prepare the Biscuit Mix: In a separate bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay biscuit dry mix with milk according to package instructions, mixing just until combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix.
  8. Assemble the Dish: Pour the seafood filling into a baking dish or individual ramekins. Spread the biscuit dough evenly over the top, covering the filling completely.
  9. Bake the Pot Pie: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve and enjoy this comforting seafood pot pie with cheddar biscuit topping.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the seafood in the filling to keep it tender and juicy.
  • When mixing biscuit dough, avoid overmixing to keep the topping fluffy and tender.
  • Use seafood stock if available for more flavor, but chicken broth is a good substitute.
  • This dish can be made in individual ramekins for a charming presentation.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain biscuit texture.
