How to Make Cheddar Bay Biscuit Seafood Pot Pie (VIDEO)

  1. Sear the Seafood: Start by cooking the shrimp and langostino tails in olive oil with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Sauté until just cooked through, then set aside.
  2. Sauté the Veggies: In the same pan, sauté onions, bell peppers, and celery until they’re soft and fragrant.
  3. Make the Gravy: Lower the heat, add butter, then stir in flour to create a roux. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream until smooth. Add garlic, thyme, tarragon, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper for layers of rich flavor. Gently fold the seafood back into the pan.
  4. Prepare the Biscuit Topping: Combine the Red Lobster biscuit mix, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk to form a shaggy dough. Don’t overmix to keep it tender and light.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Transfer the seafood filling to ramekins or a baking dish. Top with the biscuit dough, then bake for 14-16 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Finish with Herb Butter Sauce: Brush the freshly baked biscuits with a garlic herb butter sauce for that extra savory touch.

Storage Suggestions

These seafood pot pies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350F for 8-10 minutes to keep the biscuit topping crisp.

Equipment

  • 6 ramekins or baking dish

Ingredients

Seafood & Vegetable Filling

  • 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 12 oz langostino tails or lobster
  • 8 oz jumbo lump crabmeat cooked
  • 1 cup onions chopped
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper chopped
  • 1/4 cup celery chopped
  • 1 tsp salt plus more to taste
  • 1 tsp pepper plus more to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Creamy Gravy

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 5 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced or paste
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp tarragon dried
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping

  • 1 box red lobster cheddar bay biscuit mix 11.36oz
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup mild cheddar cheese shredded

Herb Butter Sauce

  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 pouch garlic Herb seasoning from the box

Instructions

Seafood & Vegetable Filling

  • To a pan over medium heat, add olive oil and sear the shrimp and langostino with salt and pepper for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside once cooked.
  • To the same pan, sauté onions, bell peppers and celery, cook until the onions are translucent. This should take about 4-5 minutes.

Creamy Gravy

  • Turn the heat down to medium low and add the butter and stir. Once the butter is melted, sprinkle in the flour and continue to stir until all the flour is absorbed by the vegetables.
  • Deglaze the pan with chicken broth and allow to come to a slight simmer. Then, pour in the heavy cream and stir until combined.
  • Season with garlic, thyme, tarragon, salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Let the gravy cook for 2-3 minutes then gently fold in the seared shrimp, langostino and jumbo lump crabmeat. Remove from heat and set aside.

Herb Butter Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients listed under “Herb Butter Sauce” and set aside.
  • Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping
  • To a bowl add the dry biscuit mix, cheddar cheese and milk. Using a fork, mix together until the dough starts to form. Be care not to over mix here. You really just need to stir enough to get a shaggy dough.

Assemble

  • Pre-heat your oven to 425F.
  • Transfer the seafood & vegetable filling to the baking dish of your choice. I decided to divide the filling between 6 ramekins. Top each ramekin with the cheddar bay biscuit dough.
  • Place on a baking tray, and bake until the biscuit topping is cooked through and golden brown, about 14-16 minutes.
  • As soon as they come out of the oven, brush on the herb garlic butter and serve. Enjoy!
