Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Adds richness to the filling; margarine can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced Provides aromatic flavor; use garlic powder if fresh isn't available.
  • 1 small Onion, Finely Chopped Offers sweetness and depth; shallots are a milder substitute.
  • 1 stalk Celery, Diced Adds crunch and freshness; can be omitted if not available.
  • ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour Thickens the filling; substitute with gluten-free flour blend if needed.
  • 2 cups Seafood Stock or Chicken Stock Acts as the base for the filling; vegetable stock can be used for a vegetarian version.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Contributes creaminess; full-fat coconut milk works for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning Enhances seafood flavor; replace with a mix of paprika and celery salt if unavailable.
  • Salt and Black Pepper Basic seasoning; adjust according to taste.
  • 1 pound Shrimp, Peeled and Deveined Main protein source; crab can be a delightful substitute.
  • 1 cup Cooked Lobster Meat, Chopped Adds sweetness and luxury; skip if seafood availability is limited.
  • ¼ cup Fresh Parsley, Chopped Provides freshness and color; use dried parsley in smaller amounts if fresh is unavailable.
Biscuit Topping
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure to the biscuits; a gluten-free blend can substitute.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Leavens the biscuit; no substitutes necessary.
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder Season the biscuit topping; fresh garlic can enhance flavor if preferred.
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup Cold Butter, Grated Creates flakiness in the biscuits; use vegan butter for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese Adds flavor and richness; swap for dairy-free cheese alternative if needed.
  • ¾ cup Whole Milk Moistens the biscuit dough; almond milk or any preferred milk can work for a dairy-free option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 finely chopped small onion, and 1 diced celery stalk. Sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  3. Stir in ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, cooking for an additional minute to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of seafood stock and 1 cup of heavy cream. Stir for about 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  5. Season with 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, along with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Fold in 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp. Cook until pink, then gently stir in 1 cup of chopped cooked lobster meat and ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley. Remove from heat and let cool.
  7. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Cut in ½ cup of cold grated butter.
  8. Stir in 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and pour in ¾ cup of whole milk. Mix just until dough comes together.
  9. Spoon the seafood filling into ramekins or a baking dish, then drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the top.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown.
  11. Let the pot pie rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
