Cheddar Bay Biscuit Seafood Pot Pie Recipe

Introduction

This Cheddar Bay Biscuit Seafood Pot Pie is a comforting and flavorful dish that combines tender seafood with creamy sauce and a cheesy biscuit topping. It’s perfect for a cozy dinner that feels both special and homey.

Ingredients

• 1 pound frozen mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, crab)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 package (7.5 oz) Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots and peas)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dill weed

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Step 3: Stir in the frozen seafood and cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Step 4: Pour in the heavy cream and add the garlic powder and dill weed. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
5. Step 5: Prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix according to the package instructions.
6. Step 6: Pour the seafood mixture into a baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly on top of the seafood.
7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.

Tips & Variations

• For added flavor, try mixing in some fresh chopped herbs like parsley or chives into the biscuit dough before baking.
• If you prefer a thicker filling, add a tablespoon of flour to the seafood mixture before adding the cream to help thicken the sauce.
• Use fresh seafood if available, but be sure to adjust cooking times accordingly as fresh seafood may cook faster.

Storage

Store leftover pot pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through to keep the biscuit topping crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

Seafood Mixture

• 1 pound frozen mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, crab)
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots and peas)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dill weed

Biscuit Topping

• 1 package (7.5 oz) Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the pot pie once assembled.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the mixed vegetables (carrots and peas) and sauté until they become tender, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
3. Cook Seafood: Add the frozen mixed seafood to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and the seafood is heated through, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add Cream and Seasoning: Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in the garlic powder and dill weed. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer gently for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
5. Prepare Biscuit Mix: While the seafood mixture simmers, prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix according to the package instructions, creating the biscuit dough for topping.
6. Assemble Pot Pie: Transfer the seafood and vegetable mixture into a suitable baking dish. Spoon or dollop the biscuit dough evenly over the top of the seafood mixture, ensuring good coverage.
7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is puffed up and golden brown.

Notes

• Make sure seafood is thawed if not using pre-cooked frozen seafood, to ensure even cooking.
• You can use fresh vegetables instead of frozen mixed vegetables for a fresher taste.
• The biscuit mix can be substituted with other biscuit or biscuit dough brands, but Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix provides a signature cheesy flavor.
• Allow the pot pie to rest for a few minutes after baking before serving for easier slicing and serving.
• You can add herbs like thyme or parsley for additional flavor.
