Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish or large oven-safe skillet.

2. Melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat, then cook the onion, carrots, and celery for 6 to 8 minutes until softened.

3. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

4. Sprinkle in the flour and stir well, cooking for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

5. Slowly pour in the seafood stock, then add the milk and heavy cream, stirring until smooth.

6. Season with Old Bay, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper, then simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until thickened.

7. Stir in the peas, shrimp, crab, scallops, lemon juice, and parsley, then cook gently for 2 to 3 minutes.

8. Prepare the cheddar bay biscuit mix according to package directions, then fold in the shredded cheddar and garlic powder.

9. Spoon the biscuit dough evenly over the seafood filling.

10. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

11. Mix the melted butter with the biscuit seasoning packet and brush it over the hot biscuit topping.

12. Let the pot pie rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use thawed and well-drained seafood if working with frozen seafood to keep the filling creamy instead of watery.

Do not overcook the seafood on the stove because it will finish cooking in the oven.

Let the pot pie rest before serving so the filling thickens and scoops cleanly.
