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’s properly heated when you’re ready to bake the pot pie.
  2. Prepare Seafood Filling: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the lump crab meat and frozen mixed vegetables, stirring gently to combine without breaking up the crab.
  3. Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the seafood mixture, stirring to coat the seafood and vegetables thoroughly. Gradually pour in the seafood stock and heavy cream while stirring continuously. Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken for about 5 minutes, creating a rich, creamy sauce.
  4. Season the Filling: Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix everything well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed. Remove the skillet from heat once combined.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the 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 Cheddar Bay biscuit mix, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. Stir the ingredients together until a soft dough forms, suitable for spooning over the filling.
  7. Top the Filling: Spoon dollops of the biscuit dough evenly over the seafood filling, covering the surface completely to create the biscuit crust.
  8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The biscuit topping should turn golden brown and be cooked through.
  9. Cool: Remove the pot pie from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes. This resting time helps the filling to set and makes serving easier.
  10. Serve: Scoop generous portions onto plates and enjoy the comforting, creamy seafood pot pie topped with cheesy, fluffy biscuits.

Notes

  • Use fresh seafood if possible for the best flavor, but frozen seafood can be used if thawed properly.
  • Adjust seasoning according to taste, especially salt since seafood stock and crab can be naturally salty.
  • Make sure to not overmix the biscuit dough to keep the topping light and fluffy.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut milk or other dairy-free alternatives, and use a suitable biscuit mix.
  • Letting the pot pie cool slightly before serving prevents burns and helps the filling set for cleaner slices.
