Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups seafood stock or chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, carrots, and celery, cooking until softened.
  2. Add shrimp and scallops; cook 2-3 minutes until opaque. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir. Gradually whisk in stock and heavy cream until thickened. Season with thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  4. Return seafood and peas to the sauce, mixing gently. Pour into greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  5. Prepare biscuit topping: whisk flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and baking soda. Cut in cold butter until coarse crumbs form. Stir in cheddar, then add buttermilk gradually to form soft dough.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough evenly over filling. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Make the filling a day ahead for convenience.
  • Substitute seafood types as desired.
  • For a lighter version, reduce heavy cream and use extra stock.
