Introduction

This Cheddar Bay Biscuit Seafood Pot Pie combines tender seafood and vegetables in a creamy sauce, all topped with cheesy, fluffy biscuits. It’s an easy, comforting dish perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Step 2: Stir in the flour, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is bubbly.
3. Step 3: Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and broth, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Step 4: Add the cooked seafood and frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and pour the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish or oven-safe skillet.
5. Step 5: In a separate bowl, prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix according to package instructions, adding the shredded cheddar cheese and water. Mix until just combined.
6. Step 6: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the seafood mixture, covering it as evenly as possible.
7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Step 8: Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Swap the seafood mix for your favorite fresh seafood or add mushrooms for extra flavor.
• Use low-sodium broth to control saltiness in the dish.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
• Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a bright finish.

Storage

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through to keep the biscuits crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

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

Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping

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

Instructions

1. Preheat and Sauté Onion: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Create the Roux: Stir in the flour, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes bubbly and fragrant, which helps to cook out the raw flour taste.
3. Make the Creamy Sauce: Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and broth, stirring constantly. Continue cooking and stirring for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
4. Add Seafood and Vegetables: Fold in the cooked seafood mix and frozen vegetables into the sauce, ensuring everything is well combined. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the filling evenly into a 9-inch pie dish or oven-safe skillet.
5. Prepare Biscuit Dough: In a separate bowl, prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix according to the package instructions. Add in the shredded cheddar cheese and water, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
6. Top the Filling: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the seafood filling, making sure to cover as much surface as possible for a complete crust.
7. Bake the Pot Pie: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the pot pie to cool for about 5 minutes before serving to let the filling set slightly for easier slicing and enhanced flavor.

Notes

• Use cooked seafood to avoid overcooking during baking.
• Frozen mixed vegetables can be substituted with fresh vegetables if preferred.
• If you don’t have Old Bay seasoning, a mix of paprika, celery salt, and cayenne pepper can be used as a substitute.
• Do not overmix the biscuit dough to keep the biscuits tender.
• For a thicker filling, reduce broth to 3/4 cup.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
