Filling
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Adds richness to the filling; use margarine for a dairy-free version.

  • 1 small Onion Contributes sweetness; shallots are a great alternative.
  • 1 cup Celery Adds crunch and flavor; substitute with bell peppers if desired.
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour Used for thickening; gluten-free flour works well.
  • 2 cups Seafood Stock Forms the creamy base; chicken stock can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Adds a creamy texture; coconut cream can be used.
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning Provides a unique flavor profile; use another seafood seasoning blend if needed.
  • 1 pound Shrimp Uncooked shrimp work best; frozen is acceptable if thawed.

  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Enhances flavor; chives can be used or omitted.

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather all your ingredients and tools to streamline the cooking process.
  2. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a skillet. Add minced garlic, diced onion, and chopped celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until tender and fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and stir. Cook for 1 minute, then whisk in seafood stock and heavy cream. Cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  4. Add Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Gently fold in shrimp and lobster. Cook for 2-3 minutes until shrimp turn pink.
  5. In a bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Cut in cubed butter until crumbly. Stir in cheddar cheese and milk until just combined.
  6. Grease ramekins or a baking dish. Spoon the filling into the bottom and dollop biscuit dough on top in muffin-style heaps.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking for a golden brown topping and bubbling filling.
  8. Let the pot pie rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
