Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, diced celery, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-6 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour over the sautéed vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of seafood broth and 1 cup of heavy cream, stir until smooth. Cook until the sauce thickens for about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes. Gently fold in 1 pound of shrimp, 1 cup of crab meat, 1 cup of frozen peas, and 1/4 cup of fresh parsley. Cook until the shrimp are pink, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Pour in 1/2 cup of melted butter and 3/4 cup of buttermilk; stir gently until just combined.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the filling into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and spread it. Spoon dollops of biscuit dough over the filling, ensuring even coverage.
  6. Brush the biscuit dough with melted butter. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown, and the filling is bubbling.
  7. Allow the pot pie to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley or cheese, if desired.

Notes

For maximum flakiness, use cold butter in the biscuit dough. Avoid overmixing to ensure fluffy biscuits. Cool the filling slightly before topping with biscuits to prevent sogginess.
