Seafood and Filling
- 1 pound frozen mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, crab)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots and peas)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dill weed
Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping
- 1 package (7.5 oz) Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the pot pie.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes, to develop their flavors.
- Cook Seafood: Stir in the frozen mixed seafood and cook until the shrimp turn pink and the seafood is just cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes, ensuring not to overcook.
- Add Cream and Seasonings: Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in garlic powder and dill weed. Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
- Prepare Biscuit Mix: Prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix according to the package instructions, usually combining with water and stirring until a dough forms.
- Assemble Pot Pie: Pour the seafood and vegetable mixture into a baking dish evenly. Then dollop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough across the surface to cover the filling.
- Bake: Place the assembled pot pie in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuit topping turns golden brown and is cooked through.
Notes
- Ensure seafood is fully thawed before cooking for even cooking.
- Sauté vegetables until tender but still vibrant for best texture.
- Do not overcook seafood to prevent toughness.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding salt and pepper if desired.
- Use a baking dish around 9×9 inches for best results.
- Serve hot and enjoy immediately as the biscuit topping is best fresh.
