Seafood Filling:
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 lb crab meat (or imitation crab)
- 1 cup fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock), cut into chunks
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups chicken or seafood broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Biscuit Topping:
- 1 package of Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (includes cheddar cheese and seasoning)
- ¾ cup milk (for the biscuit mix)
- ¼ cup melted butter (for the biscuit topping)
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Seafood: In a large pot over medium heat, combine the shrimp, crab meat, and fish. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turns pink. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In the same pot, add the chicken or seafood broth, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cooked seafood. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Thicken the Filling: Stir constantly until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Biscuit Mixture: In a bowl, pour the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix and add milk. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Combine in Baking Dish: Pour the seafood mixture into a large baking dish. Spoon the biscuit mixture over the top, covering as much of the filling as possible.
- Add Butter: Drizzle the melted butter over the biscuit topping for extra flavor and a golden finish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuit topping turns golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
