Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your ingredients while the oven heats up.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and celery, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour into the sautéed vegetables to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. Whisk in 2 cups of seafood broth and 1 cup of heavy cream gradually until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and adjust seasoning.
  6. Fold in cooked shrimp, crab meat, and 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots, stirring gently until heated through.
  7. Transfer the seafood filling into a 9-inch pie dish and spread it evenly.
  8. Prepare the refrigerated Cheddar Bay Biscuits according to package instructions, mixing in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Spoon the biscuit dough evenly over the seafood filling to completely cover it.
  10. Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
