Ingredients

Scale

Seafood and Vegetables

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 lb crab meat (or imitation crab)
  • 1 cup fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock), cut into chunks
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

Liquid and Seasonings

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups chicken or seafood broth
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Biscuit Topping

  • 1 package of Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (includes cheddar cheese and seasoning)
  • ¾ cup milk (for the biscuit mix)
  • ¼ cup melted butter (for the biscuit topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready when you assemble and bake your pot pie.
  2. Prepare Seafood: In a large pot over medium heat, combine the shrimp, crab meat, and fish pieces. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turns pink, indicating it is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Make the Sauce: Using the same pot, add chicken or seafood broth, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and the cooked seafood back into the sauce. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through evenly.
  5. Thicken the Filling: Stir constantly for another 5 minutes while the filling thickens slightly. Remove the pot from heat and set aside to cool a little.
  6. Prepare Biscuit Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix with the milk. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain biscuit tenderness.
  7. Combine in Baking Dish: Transfer the seafood mixture into a large baking dish. Evenly spoon the biscuit batter over the filling, covering as much surface as possible for a nice biscuit topping layer.
  8. Add Butter: Drizzle melted butter over the biscuit topping to add rich flavor and help achieve a golden crust when baked.
  9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuit topping is puffed and golden brown.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove the pot pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This resting time helps the filling set and ensures safe serving temperature. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh or thawed seafood for best texture and flavor.
  • You can substitute frozen fish fillets with any firm white fish available.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
  • The biscuit mix provides a savory, cheesy topping unique to Cheddar Bay biscuits; do not substitute with plain biscuit mixes.
  • Letting the pot pie cool briefly before serving helps it hold its shape better.
