Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined
- 1 cup lump crab meat
- 1 cup sea scallops, quartered if large
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup diced carrots
- 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup seafood or chicken broth
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 batch Cheddar Bay biscuit mix (about 2 cups dry mix, store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp melted butter for biscuit topping
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
- If using frozen seafood, thaw and pat dry. Chop scallops if large. Shred cheese if needed.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add carrots and cook for 3 minutes until starting to soften.
- Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until bubbly but not browned.
- Slowly whisk in broth and cream. Cook, stirring, until thickened (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add Old Bay, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Add shrimp, crab, scallops, peas, and corn. Simmer 2-3 minutes until shrimp is just pink.
- Transfer seafood filling to the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare Cheddar Bay biscuit dough as package directs, folding in cheddar cheese.
- Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the filling.
- Bake 30-35 minutes, until biscuits are golden and filling bubbles.
- Brush biscuits with melted butter, sprinkle with parsley, and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can substitute more shrimp for the crab or scallops if needed. For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. To make it gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend and biscuit mix. Leftovers reheat well. Add extra veggies like bell peppers or mushrooms if desired.
