A white ramekin filled with creamy chicken pot pie, topped with a golden brown crust that is shiny and sprinkled with small green herb pieces. The pie crust is thick and flaky, slightly broken where a spoon has lifted some of it, revealing a creamy inside with visible chunks of orange carrots, green peas, and white chicken in a smooth sauce that is spilling over the side.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound frozen mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, crab)
  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dill weed

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté until tender.
  3. Step 3: Stir in the mixed seafood and cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Pour in the heavy cream, then add garlic powder and dill weed. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Step 5: Prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix according to package instructions.
  6. Step 6: Transfer the seafood mixture into a baking dish and spoon the biscuit dough evenly over the top.
  7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine to the seafood mixture while simmering.
  • Use fresh seafood if available, but frozen works well for convenience.
  • Try swapping the mixed vegetables with corn or green beans for a different texture.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce.

Storage

Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through to keep the biscuit topping crisp.

How to Serve

A white ramekin filled with creamy, light beige shrimp chowder, overflowing with tender orange shrimp and thick cheese sauce that drips down the side and onto a white plate beneath. The top layer is a golden-brown flaky pastry crust, puffed up with a rough, textured surface and sprinkled with small green herb bits. A fork sinks into the crust from the top right, breaking the crust and allowing the cheesy shrimp filling to ooze out. The dish sits on a white marbled surface with scattered green herbs around it. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
