Description
A comforting seafood pot pie featuring shrimp, langostino (or lobster), and crab in a creamy, herb‑infused gravy, topped with cheesy Red Lobster‑style Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
Ingredients
- Seafood & Vegetable Filling: 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined), 12 oz langostino tails (or lobster), 8 oz jumbo lump crabmeat (cooked), 1 cup chopped onions, ½ cup chopped bell pepper, ¼ cup chopped celery, salt and pepper to taste, olive oil for cooking.
- Creamy Gravy: 2 cups chicken broth, 1 cup heavy cream, 4 tbsp butter, 5 tbsp flour, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried tarragon, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, ½ tsp smoked paprika.
- Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping: 1 box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (11.36 oz), ¾ cup milk, ½ cup shredded mild cheddar cheese.
- Herb Butter Sauce: ¼ cup melted butter, garlic‑herb seasoning packet from the biscuit mix box.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C).
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat; sear shrimp and langostino with salt and pepper for 2‑3 minutes until just cooked. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté onions, bell pepper, and celery until soft (~4‑5 minutes).
- Reduce heat to medium‑low; add butter, then stir in flour to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream until smooth.
- Season with garlic, thyme, tarragon, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper; cook for about 2‑3 minutes.
- Fold cooked seafood back into the gravy; remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, combine biscuit mix, shredded cheddar, and milk until a shaggy dough forms—do not over‑mix.
- Transfer seafood filling into ramekins or baking dish; top with biscuit dough.
- Bake for 14‑16 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.
- Immediately brush biscuits with the melted butter mixed with the herb seasoning packet.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Make individual servings using ramekins or one big dish, depending on preference.
- Leftovers can be stored airtight in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 350 °F oven for about 8‑10 minutes to keep the biscuit topping crisp.
- Feel free to substitute langostino with lobster meat or adjust seafood mix to your liking.
