Ingredients
  

Seafood Filling
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 cup dry white wine
  • 1.5 cups seafood stock or clam juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb large shrimp raw, peeled, deveined
  • 0.5 lb firm white fish cod or halibut, cubed
  • 0.5 lb lump crab meat
  • 0.5 cup frozen sweet peas
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice fresh
Biscuit Topping
  • 1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix 11.36 oz, plus required ingredients
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley

Equipment

  • Large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onion and red bell pepper until softened (5-7 mins). Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Whisk in white wine, then slowly whisk in seafood stock and heavy cream until smooth.
  5. Add Old Bay, thyme, Dijon, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Remove from heat. Gently fold in the raw shrimp, white fish, crab meat, peas, and lemon juice. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish.
  7. Prepare the biscuit mix according to package directions. Drop large spoonfuls of dough evenly over the seafood filling.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbly.
  9. Mix melted butter, garlic powder, parsley, and the biscuit seasoning packet. Brush generously over the hot biscuits immediately after baking.
  10. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not pre-cook the seafood! The residual heat from the sauce and the oven baking time will cook the shrimp and fish perfectly without making them tough.
