Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients and have a 9-inch pie dish ready.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and celery, sauté for 3-5 minutes until translucent.
  3. Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in seafood broth and heavy cream, cooking until thickened and bubbling for about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and season with garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  6. Gently fold in cooked shrimp, crab meat, and frozen peas and carrots into the sauce.
  7. Spoon the mixture into the pie dish, spreading it evenly.
  8. Prepare Cheddar Bay biscuits according to package instructions, mixing in shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the seafood filling, covering the surface adequately.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
  11. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to set the filling.
