Step-by-Step: How to Make Cheddar Bay Biscuit Seafood Pot Pie

1. Prep Your Ingredients

Set yourself up for success: thaw and pat dry your seafood, chop your veggies, and preheat that oven to 375°F.

2. Cook the Vegetables

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add carrots and peas, cooking until they’re just tender and looking bright.

3. Add the Seafood

Toss in your mixed seafood. Stir gently until shrimp turn pink and scallops look opaque—about 3-4 minutes. Your kitchen will already smell amazing.

4. Create the Creamy Filling

Pour in heavy cream, stirring to coat everything. Add garlic powder and dill weed. Let simmer for 5 minutes, just until it thickens into velvety perfection.

5. Prepare the Biscuit Topping

Mix up the Cheddar Bay Biscuit dough per package directions. (Pro tip: sneak in an extra handful of shredded cheese—because more cheese never hurt anybody.)

6. Assemble & Bake

Transfer the seafood filling to a baking dish. Drop biscuit dough in generous spoonfuls over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling underneath.

Tips for Pot Pie Success

Don’t overcook the seafood: Remember, it’s going to bake again in the oven. Slightly underdone in the skillet = perfectly cooked after baking.
Add extra veggies: Mushrooms, corn, or even spinach would fit right in.
Make it ahead: Assemble the filling a day before, then top with biscuits and bake when ready.

Fun fact: the first time I made this, I underestimated how fast my family would devour it. I turned around to grab a salad, and half the casserole dish was already gone. Lesson learned: always double the recipe when feeding hungry people.
