A comforting seafood pot pie topped with savory cheddar bay biscuits for a golden, cheesy crust that pairs perfectly with a creamy seafood filling.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked seafood mix (shrimp, crab, or lobster)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups seafood stock or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 package Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup milk (for biscuit mix)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and carrots; sauté until softened.
- Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in seafood stock and cream, stirring until thickened.
- Add seafood, peas, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, then transfer mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix according to package instructions, adding shredded cheddar cheese to the dough.
- Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the seafood filling.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until biscuits are golden and cooked through.

- Old Bay seasoning enhances the seafood flavor but can be adjusted to taste.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
