Ingredients

Seafood Filling

  • Shrimp: fresh or thawed, peeled and deveined
  • Lobster meat: cooked and chopped
  • Butter: for sautéing and biscuit dough
  • Onion: diced
  • Celery: diced
  • Garlic powder: for seasoning filling and biscuits
  • Cream cheese: softened
  • Heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley: chopped, for filling and garnish

Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping

  • Biscuit mix (e.g., Bisquick) or homemade biscuit dough ingredients
  • Cheddar cheese: shredded
  • Butter: cold, for dough and optional garlic parsley butter brush
  • Garlic powder
  • Chopped parsley
  • Milk (or as needed to form dough)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Seafood Filling: Start by sautéing diced onion and celery in butter until soft and fragrant. Stir in garlic powder and seasonings before adding the shrimp and lobster, cooking just until the seafood turns opaque. Mix in cream cheese and heavy cream to create a smooth, velvety sauce, then finish with a handful of fresh parsley for brightness.
  2. Make the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Dough: In a bowl, combine biscuit mix with shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and chopped parsley. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then stir in milk until a soft dough forms. This biscuit dough will be spooned generously over the seafood filling.
  3. Assemble the Pot Pie: Pour the luscious seafood filling into a greased baking dish. Spoon the cheddar bay biscuit dough evenly on top, making sure to cover the filling but leaving some gaps for steam to escape during baking.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Bake the Shrimp & Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Pot Pie at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

  • Use fresh or properly thawed seafood to ensure the best texture and flavor in your pot pie filling.
  • Don’t overmix biscuit dough; keep it light and fluffy by gently combining ingredients.
  • Chill the biscuit dough; cold dough handles better and yields flakier biscuits.
  • Reserve some buttery garlic parsley mix and brush it on biscuits right after baking for that restaurant-style Cheddar Bay Biscuit finish.
  • Let the pot pie rest before slicing to prevent the filling from oozing out too much when served.
