Ingredients
  

For the seafood filling

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups seafood stock (or chicken stock)
  • 0.5 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 0.5 pounds cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

For the biscuit topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter, grated
  • 0.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 0.33 cups whole milk (plus 1 tablespoon if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic, onion, and celery. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, forming a roux.
  • Slowly whisk in the seafood stock and cream. Stir until smooth and slightly thickened, about 5–7 minutes.
  • Season with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes until they turn pink. Stir in the lobster and parsley. Remove from heat.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt for the biscuit topping.
  • Cut in the grated cold butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the cheddar cheese and herbs.
  • Add the milk and mix until just combined. The dough will be sticky.

Assembly and Baking

  • Spoon the seafood mixture into ramekins or a baking dish.
  • Drop the biscuit dough over the top, spreading gently.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.
  • Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

This pot pie can be served hot from the oven and is great with a light salad or steamed veggies. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
