Description
A delicious pot pie filled with shrimp and crab in a creamy sauce, topped with flaky Cheddar Bay biscuits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 1 box of refrigerated Cheddar Bay Biscuits
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, sautéing until soft and translucent—about 4-5 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the seafood broth and heavy cream. Continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken.
- Add in garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
- Carefully fold in the cooked shrimp, crab meat, and frozen peas and carrots. Once combined, remove from heat.
- Pour the seafood filling into a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuits according to package instructions, mixing in the shredded cheddar cheese for extra flavor.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the seafood filling.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked.
- Let the pot pie cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
Notes
For a lighter filling, substitute half and half for heavy cream. Experiment with different seafood or spices to customize this dish.
