Scale
Filling
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup crab meat, gently shredded
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
- 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
- 1/4 cup onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup seafood broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- Salt and pepper as needed
Topping
- 1 package Cheddar Bay biscuit mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Heat the oven: Begin by setting your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready when needed.
- Cook the vegetables: Place a large skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter completely, then add onion and celery. Cook while stirring occasionally until softened and aromatic.
- Form the base: Sprinkle flour evenly over the vegetables. Stir continuously for about 1–2 minutes. This step forms the thickening base for your sauce.
- Add liquids gradually: Slowly pour in the seafood broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Follow with heavy cream. Continue stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly thick.
- Season the mixture: Add garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly so the flavors distribute evenly.
- Add seafood and vegetables: Gently mix in shrimp, crab, and the frozen vegetable blend. Stir until everything is well coated. Remove from heat.
- Transfer filling: Pour the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Prepare biscuit topping: In a separate bowl, prepare the Cheddar Bay biscuit dough as directed. Mix in shredded cheddar cheese for extra flavor.
- Top the dish: Spoon the biscuit dough over the filling in even portions, covering most of the surface.
- Bake thoroughly: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30–40 minutes. The biscuits should rise and turn golden brown while the filling bubbles underneath.
- Cool before serving: Remove from oven and let sit for 10–15 minutes. This helps the filling firm up for easier serving.
