A creamy seafood medley bubbling under golden cheddar biscuits — warm, savory, and full of coastal comfort. This delicious seafood pot pie topped with Cheddar Bay Biscuits is perfect for cozy nights or special dinners.
For the seafood filling:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup seafood stock or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cooked shrimp, peeled and chopped
1 cup lump crab meat or imitation crab
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
For the biscuit topping:
1 package Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (such as Red Lobster brand)
Cold water and shredded cheese (as directed on the box)
2 tablespoons melted butter + 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for brushing)
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or deep baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute.
Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in seafood stock and heavy cream. Add Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
Add cooked shrimp, crab meat, peas and carrots, and parsley. Stir gently to combine, then remove from heat.
Pour the seafood mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Prepare biscuit mix according to package instructions and drop spoonfuls of dough over the top of the filling.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully baked.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter and garlic powder. Brush over the hot biscuits right before serving.
You can substitute the shrimp and crab with other seafood options like scallops or lobster for a different variation.
For an extra cheesy topping, sprinkle shredded cheese over the biscuits before baking.
Make sure to not overmix the biscuit dough to keep it light and fluffy.
