Ingredients

Scale

Seafood Filling

  • 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup seafood stock or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free baking mix for gluten free)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 6 tbsp cold butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk (or plant-based milk for dairy-free option)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Seafood Filling: Sauté diced onions and minced garlic in butter over medium heat until translucent and fragrant. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux. Gradually whisk in seafood stock and heavy cream, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens smoothly. Season with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Gently fold in the chopped shrimp and lobster meat, and heat through without overcooking to maintain tender seafood.
  2. Make the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour (or gluten-free baking mix), baking powder, Old Bay seasoning, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Cut in cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk just until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix to ensure flaky biscuits.
  3. Assemble the Pot Pie: Pour the creamy seafood filling into a greased baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the filling, covering the surface with rustic biscuit mounds that will bake into a golden, cheesy crust.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the pot pie in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through. Allow the pot pie to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to set the filling before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh or high-quality frozen seafood for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overcook the seafood filling to avoid rubbery texture.
  • Keep butter cold when making biscuit dough for a tender, flaky topping.
  • Generously season with Old Bay to enhance the seafood flavors.
  • Allow the pot pie to rest after baking to let the filling thicken and set.
