The Complete Guide to Mastering Decadent Shrimp & Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Pot Pie

Baking Biscuits:

Baking the biscuit topping at a high temperature ensures a quick rise and helps create a golden crust. Avoid opening the oven door during baking to maintain temperature.

Creating a Roux:

A roux is a mixture of fat and flour used to thicken sauces. Cook it for a few minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste and to achieve a smooth consistency when adding liquid.

Sautéing Vegetables:

Sautéing the vegetables enhances their flavors, allowing them to soften and caramelize slightly. Use medium heat and stir them regularly to ensure even cooking, which will create a fragrant base for the filling.

Ingredients

For the Filling:

1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 lb cooked lobster meat, chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken or seafood broth

1/2 cup frozen peas

1/2 cup carrots, diced

1/4 cup celery, diced

1/4 cup onion, finely chopped

3 tbsp butter

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

For the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup cold butter, cubed

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

3/4 cup milk

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This allows the pot pie to cook evenly, ensuring golden biscuits and a bubbly filling.

Step 2: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3: Sprinkle in the flour, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux, which thickens the filling.

Step 4: Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and broth, stirring until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.

Step 5: Stir in the shrimp, lobster, peas, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until everything is heated through. Remove from heat.

Step 6: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit topping. Cut in the cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7: Fold in the shredded cheddar and garlic powder, then gradually add milk, stirring until just combined.

Step 8: Pour the seafood filling into a greased 9-inch pie dish or baking dish. Spoon the biscuit mixture over the top, spreading it evenly.

Step 9: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 10: Allow to cool slightly before serving, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
