Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pound crab meat (or imitation if you prefer)
- 1 cup white fish fillets (like cod or haddock), cut into bite-size chunks
- 1 cup frozen mixed veggies (peas, carrots, corn all work great)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups chicken or seafood stock
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 package Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (comes with cheese + seasoning included)
- ¾ cup milk (to prepare the biscuit mix)
- ¼ cup melted butter (to brush over the biscuits)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven.
- Turn on the oven and set it to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook the seafood.
- Place a large pot over medium heat and add your shrimp, crab, and fish. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and the fish is just starting to flake. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Create the creamy base.
- In the same pot, pour in the broth and heavy cream. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and let it come up to a gentle simmer.
- Add the veggies and seafood.
- Toss the mixed vegetables into the pot along with the cooked seafood. Let the mixture bubble for about 5 minutes so everything warms through.
- Thicken it up.
- Keep stirring until the sauce starts to thicken slightly (around 5 minutes). Once it looks rich and creamy, remove the pot from the heat.
- Mix up the biscuits.
- In a separate bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix with the milk. Stir until everything just comes together—don’t overmix or the biscuits will be dense.
- Assemble the pie.
- Pour the creamy seafood mixture into a large casserole or baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough across the top, spreading gently to cover most of the surface.
- Add buttery goodness.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the biscuit topping. This is the secret to that golden, irresistible crust.
- Bake until golden.
- Slide the dish into the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed up and golden brown.
- Rest and serve.
- Let the pot pie cool for 5–10 minutes before digging in. Serve warm and enjoy that cheesy, buttery crust with every creamy, seafood-packed bite!
