A rich and comforting Cheddar Bay Seafood Pie made with shrimp, crab meat, and vegetables in a creamy sauce, topped with golden cheddar biscuits. This cozy seafood bake is perfect for weeknight dinners or weekend indulgence.

Ingredients

Seafood Filling:

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ½ lb lump crab meat
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup seafood stock or chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (plus more for garnish)

Cheddar Biscuit Topping:

  • 1 pack Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (or homemade cheddar biscuits)
  • ⅓ cup milk (for biscuit mix)
  • ½ stick melted butter (for brushing tops)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, melt butter and sauté celery, onion, and bell pepper over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until soft.

    2. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle in flour and whisk for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.

    Slowly pour in cream and seafood stock, stirring until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.

    Fold in shrimp and crab meat, simmer until shrimp turn pink. Add cheddar cheese, Old Bay seasoning, parsley, salt, and pepper.

  2. Spoon the seafood mixture into greased ramekins or a casserole dish.
  3. Prepare biscuit mix according to package instructions using milk. Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the seafood mixture.
  4. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, until biscuits are golden and puffed.
  5. Brush biscuit tops with melted butter and garnish with extra parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh seafood for the best flavor.
  • Seafood stock adds more depth, but chicken broth works in a pinch.
  • Can be made in individual ramekins or a single casserole dish.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven.
