Directions
- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft and fragrant. This creates a flavor-packed base for your pot pie filling.
- Build the Creamy Filling: Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the seafood or chicken broth and heavy cream until smooth. Season with Old Bay, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Add Seafood & Veggies: Stir in shrimp, crab meat, peas, carrots, and parsley. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, just until the shrimp turns pink and the mixture is heated through. This combination creates the luscious seafood filling that makes this dish irresistible.
- Prepare the Biscuit Topping: In a bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix, shredded cheddar cheese, cold water, and garlic powder. Mix until a soft dough forms. Spoon or gently press the dough over the hot filling in individual ramekins or a casserole dish.
- Bake to Golden Deliciousness: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed, golden brown, and slightly crisp on top. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped chives if desired for a finishing touch.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the pot pie to cool slightly before serving. Each bite should reveal creamy, cheesy seafood filling beneath a warm, garlicky biscuit crown.
