Ingredients for the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Seafood Pot Pie

Each ingredient in this dish plays a flavorful role, building layers of taste and texture.

  • Shrimp – Adds tender, juicy bites of seafood richness.
  • Crab meat – Brings a sweet, buttery seafood flavor.
  • Onion and garlic – The aromatic foundation of the creamy sauce.
  • Butter – For sautéing and adding silky depth to the filling.
  • Flour – Thickens the sauce for that perfect pot pie consistency.
  • Seafood stock or chicken broth – Builds out the savory base.
  • Heavy cream – Delivers that luscious, rich mouthfeel.
  • Old Bay seasoning or Cajun spice – Gives the filling a little southern soul.

  • Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix – The fluffy, cheesy crown of the dish.

How To Make the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Seafood Pot Pie

Step 1: Make the Creamy Seafood Filling

Start by sautéing onion and garlic in butter until fragrant. Stir in the flour to make a roux, then gradually whisk in your seafood stock. Add the cream, seasoning, and simmer until thickened. Gently fold in shrimp, crab, and vegetables, then transfer everything to a baking dish.

Step 2: Mix and Drop the Biscuit Topping

Prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix according to the package directions, mixing in extra shredded cheddar cheese if you like. Drop dollops of the dough over the seafood filling in a rustic pattern.

Step 3: Bake Until Golden and Bubbly

Bake at 375°F (190°C) until the biscuits are puffed and golden and the filling is bubbly—about 25–30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.


How to Serve and Store This Pot Pie

This comforting dish feeds 6 hungry mouths with ease, especially when paired with a fresh green salad or crusty bread on the side. It’s perfect right out of the oven but can also be prepped ahead of time.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat gently in the oven to keep the biscuits from getting soggy.
