Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add minced garlic, onions, and diced celery, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
  • Slowly whisk in 1.5 cups of seafood stock and 0.5 cup of heavy cream, stirring for about 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  • Season with 1 teaspoon of Old Bay, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Add 0.5 pound of shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. Stir in 0.5 pound of lobster meat and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Remove from heat.

Biscuit Topping

  • In another bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, and 0.25 teaspoon salt.
  • Cut in the grated cold butter until crumbly. Stir in 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese and 0.33 cup of whole milk, mixing until just combined.

Assembly and Baking

  • Spoon the seafood mixture into ramekins or a baking dish, then drop the biscuit dough over the top.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown.
  • Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use quality ingredients, especially fresh seafood. Allow the pot pie to rest before serving to set the filling. Experiment with spices for added flavor.
