Ingredients
For the Cheddar Bay Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup milk
For the Seafood Pot Pie Filling:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups seafood stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound mixed seafood (such as shrimp, crab, and scallops)
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
Instructions
- Make the Cheddar Bay Biscuits: Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cheddar cheese and milk until just combined. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown.
- Prepare the Seafood Filling: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the seafood stock and heavy cream. Add the thyme, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mixture thickens. Stir in the mixed seafood, peas, and carrots.
- Assemble the Pot Pie: Pour the seafood filling into a baking dish. Top with the baked Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the biscuits are golden brown.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- This dish is best served fresh out of the oven for maximum flavor.
- Feel free to customize the seafood selection based on your preferences.
