This Cheddar Bay Biscuit Seafood Pot Pie combines the best of both worlds—tender shrimp, langostino, and jumbo lump crab enveloped in a rich, creamy gravy and topped with golden Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
Seafood & Vegetable Filling: To a pan over medium heat, add olive oil and sear the shrimp and langostino with salt and pepper for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside once cooked.
To the same pan, sauté onions, bell peppers and celery, cook until the onions are translucent. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Creamy Gravy: Turn the heat down to medium low and add the butter and stir. Once the butter is melted, sprinkle in the flour and continue to stir until all the flour is absorbed by the vegetables.
Deglaze the pan with chicken broth and allow to come to a slight simmer. Then, pour in the heavy cream and stir until combined.
Season with garlic, thyme, tarragon, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Let the gravy cook for 2-3 minutes then gently fold in the seared shrimp, langostino, and jumbo lump crabmeat. Remove from heat and set aside.
Herb Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients listed under “Herb Butter Sauce” and set aside.
Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping: To a bowl add the dry biscuit mix, cheddar cheese, and milk. Using a fork, mix together until the dough starts to form. Be careful not to over mix here. You really just need to stir enough to get a shaggy dough.
Assemble: Pre-heat your oven to 425F. Transfer the seafood & vegetable filling to the baking dish of your choice. I divided the filling between 6 ramekins. Top each ramekin with the cheddar bay biscuit dough.
Place on a baking tray, and bake until the biscuit topping is cooked through and golden brown, about 14-16 minutes. As soon as they come out of the oven, brush on the herb garlic butter and serve. Enjoy!
