Ingredients

Scale

Seafood Filling

  • 2 cups cooked seafood mix (shrimp, crab, and scallops)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken or seafood broth
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping

  • 1 package (8.5 oz) Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F to prepare for baking the pot pie.
  2. Sauté Onions: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes, to build flavor for the filling.
  3. Make Roux and Season: Stir in the flour, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture for another minute to remove the raw flour taste and incorporate the spices.
  4. Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in the chicken or seafood broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens, approximately 5-7 minutes, forming a rich and creamy base.
  5. Combine Seafood and Vegetables: Stir in the cooked seafood mix and frozen mixed vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Remove the skillet from heat to prevent overcooking.
  6. Prepare Biscuit Dough: In a separate bowl, prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix as per package instructions, adding the shredded cheddar cheese and milk to enrich the dough with cheesy flavor.
  7. Assemble Pie: Pour the creamy seafood filling into a greased 9-inch pie dish, spreading it evenly to create the base layer.
  8. Add Biscuit Topping: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the top of the seafood filling, covering the surface as much as possible for a consistent crust.
  9. Bake: Place the assembled pot pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, ensuring a crisp and tender topping.
  10. Cool and Serve: Let the pot pie cool for 5 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set slightly before serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use cooked seafood to prevent overcooking and maintain a tender texture in the filling.
  • You can substitute frozen mixed vegetables with fresh if preferred, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling mixture.
  • Ensure the biscuit dough covers the filling evenly to protect it during baking and create a uniform crust.
  • Letting the pot pie rest after baking helps the filling thicken and makes serving easier.
