Ingredients

Scale

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
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

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.
