Ingredients

Scale

Seafood Filling

2 cups seafood mix (shrimp, scallops, and crab)
1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
1/2 cup onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups seafood stock (or chicken broth)
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Biscuit Topping

1 package Cheddar Bay biscuit mix (includes dry biscuit mix and seasoning)
1/2 cup milk (for biscuit mix)

Optional

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the pot pie once the filling is prepared.
Cook the Aromatics: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent to develop the flavor base.
Add the Seafood: Stir in the seafood mix and cook for 3-4 minutes until just cooked through, taking care not to overcook to prevent chewiness.
Thicken the Mixture: Sprinkle the flour over the seafood mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Create the Sauce: Gradually pour in the seafood stock while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Flavor It Up: Add heavy cream, Old Bay seasoning, frozen peas and carrots, salt, and pepper. Simmer on low for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese at the end until melted.
Prepare the Biscuit Mix: In a separate bowl, prepare the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix according to package instructions using the milk. Mix just until combined with some lumps remaining to ensure tender biscuits.
Assemble the Dish: Pour the seafood filling into a baking dish or individual ramekins. Spread the biscuit dough evenly over the filling as the topping.
Bake the Pot Pie: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and fully cooked, filling your kitchen with inviting aromas.

Notes

Do not overcook the seafood to maintain tender texture.
Stir constantly when adding stock to avoid lumps in the sauce.
Mix biscuit dough gently to keep it light and flaky.
Optionally garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
