Ingredients

Scale

Seafood Filling

  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1 cup crab meat, shredded
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots blend
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup seafood broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping

  • 1 box refrigerated Cheddar Bay Biscuits
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the pot pie once assembled.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, sautéing until they are soft and translucent, which usually takes about 5 minutes. This step builds the base flavor of the filling.
  3. Make the Roux: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to cook the flour and create a roux, which will thicken the seafood filling sauce.
  4. Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in the seafood broth and heavy cream to the roux mixture. Stir constantly until the sauce becomes smooth and starts to thicken, approximately 3-5 minutes.
  5. Season the Filling: Add garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to incorporate all the seasonings evenly throughout the filling.
  6. Incorporate the Seafood: Gently fold in the cooked shrimp, crab meat, and frozen peas and carrots blend. Stir just enough to combine the ingredients without breaking up the seafood. Remove skillet from heat.
  7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the prepared seafood filling into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly to prepare for the biscuit topping.
  8. Prepare the Biscuits: Following the package instructions for the refrigerated Cheddar Bay Biscuits, incorporate the shredded cheddar cheese into the biscuit dough for extra cheesy flavor.
  9. Top the Filling: Drop spoonfuls of the prepared biscuit dough evenly over the seafood filling in the baking dish, covering the surface but leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
  10. Bake the Pot Pie: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the filling is bubbling.
  11. Cool and Serve: Allow the pot pie to cool for 10-15 minutes out of the oven so the filling thickens and sets slightly before serving. This helps in neat slicing and enhances flavor melding.

Notes

  • Use fresh or thawed seafood for best texture and flavor.
  • Old Bay seasoning can be adjusted to taste or substituted with a seafood spice blend.
  • Ensure the biscuit topping is spaced well to allow steam to escape during baking.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, but note the filling may be less rich.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain biscuit crispness.
