Ingredients
Scale
For the filling:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup onion (chopped)
- 1/2 cup celery (chopped)
- 1/2 cup carrots (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups seafood stock (or chicken broth)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1/2 pound scallops or white fish (cut into chunks)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
For the biscuit topping:
- 2 cups all-purpose baking mix (like Bisquick)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Sprinkle in flour and stir until it forms a paste. Gradually whisk in seafood stock and heavy cream. Cook until thickened, 4–5 minutes. Season with Old Bay, salt, and pepper. Stir in shrimp, scallops (or fish), peas, and parsley. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, just until seafood is slightly cooked. Remove from heat.
- Pour the filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix baking mix, shredded cheddar, milk, and garlic powder until a soft dough forms. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the filling. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until biscuits are golden and cooked through.
- Brush biscuit tops with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For extra richness, stir a splash of white wine into the filling.
- You can also make individual pot pies in ramekins for a fancier presentation.
