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
Topping
- 1 box of refrigerated Cheddar Bay Biscuits
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the pot pie.
- Sauté Vegetables: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery and sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent.
- Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux, which will thicken the filling.
- Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in the seafood broth and heavy cream, stirring until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
- Season the Filling: Stir in garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste, ensuring the filling is well-seasoned.
- Incorporate the Seafood: Fold in the chopped shrimp, crab meat, and frozen peas and carrots. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the seafood filling into a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Prepare the Biscuits: Follow the package instructions for the Cheddar Bay Biscuits, mixing in the shredded cheddar cheese before topping.
- Top the Filling: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the seafood filling, covering the surface.
- Bake the Pot Pie: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pot pie cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to set before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh or thawed seafood for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- Ensure the filling mixture is thickened properly before adding the seafood to avoid a runny pot pie.
- Letting the pot pie cool helps the filling set, making it easier to serve.
