Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, grated
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp lemon juice)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 ribs celery, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups seafood or chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk or half-and-half
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay or seafood seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 oz sea scallops, halved if large
  • 8 oz firm white fish (cod or haddock), cubed
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, garlic powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in grated butter until coarse crumbs form. Stir in cheddar and parsley. Add buttermilk and mix gently. Chill dough while preparing filling.
  3. In an oven-safe skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot; cook 4–5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Sprinkle flour, stir 1 minute.
  4. Slowly whisk in broth and milk. Stir in Old Bay, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened.
  5. Stir in shrimp, scallops, fish, peas, and parsley. Cook 2 minutes until seafood begins to turn opaque.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over filling. Brush tops with melted butter.
  7. Bake 18–22 minutes until biscuits are golden and filling is bubbly. Rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Be gentle when mixing biscuit dough to keep it flaky. Don’t overcook the seafood—it finishes cooking in the oven. Ensure sauce thickens before adding seafood to avoid a soupy pot pie.
