Instructions
Preheat the oven
- Set your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a baking dish so the filling does not stick while baking.
Cook the vegetables
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Add garlic and cook for one minute.
Make the base
- Add flour to the skillet. Stir continuously for two minutes to remove raw taste and create a smooth base.
Add liquids
- Slowly pour in broth, cream and milk. Whisk well to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce becomes thick and creamy.
Add seasoning
- Add salt, pepper, paprika and thyme. Stir well so flavors mix evenly throughout the sauce.
Add seafood and vegetables
- Add shrimp, lobster and frozen vegetables. Cook for five minutes until shrimp turns pink and everything is well combined.
Add lemon juice
- Stir in lemon juice for fresh flavor. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Prepare biscuit dough
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt. Add cold butter and rub until crumbly. Add milk and mix into soft dough.
Add biscuit topping
- Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the seafood filling. Spread slightly but leave small gaps for steam to escape.
Bake the pot pie
- Place in oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until biscuits are golden and cooked through.
Cool and serve
- Let the pot pie cool for five minutes. Serve warm and enjoy the creamy seafood with fluffy biscuits.
Notes
- Use fresh seafood for best flavor
- Add corn for sweetness and texture
- Use store-bought biscuit dough for convenience
- Add a pinch of chili flakes for spice
- Replace lobster with crab if needed
- Do not overcook shrimp to keep it tender
- Add cheese to biscuits for extra richness
- Use half-and-half instead of cream for lighter version
