Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Sprinkle ¼ cup of all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of seafood broth and 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring for 3-4 minutes until thick.
  5. Season with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Remove from heat and fold in 1 cup of cooked shrimp, 1 cup of crab meat, and 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots.
  7. Pour the seafood filling into the greased 9-inch pie dish, spreading it evenly.
  8. Prepare your Cheddar Bay Biscuits, mixing in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit mixture over the seafood filling, covering it evenly.
  10. Bake for 30-40 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and the filling bubbles around the edges.
  11. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
