Prepare the Creamy Seafood Filling
- Melt butter in a large Dutch oven or skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir continuously for 1 minute to cook out the raw taste.
- Slowly whisk in the chicken or seafood stock until smooth. Then, whisk in the heavy cream.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened.
- Stir in the Old Bay seasoning, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Remove from the heat.
- Gently fold in the shrimp, scallops, crab meat, and frozen peas. Pour the filling into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Mix the Biscuit Dough & Assemble
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, garlic powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the seafood filling in the baking dish.
Bake and Finish
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
- While the pot pie is baking, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley for the topping.
- As soon as the pot pie comes out of the oven, brush the garlic herb butter generously over the hot biscuits. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Tip 1: For the flakiest biscuits, ensure your butter and buttermilk are as cold as possible.
Tip 2: Pat the seafood dry before adding it to the filling to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
Tip 3: Don't overmix the biscuit dough! A few lumps are perfectly fine and will lead to a more tender biscuit.
