Creamy Seafood Pot Pie is a comforting, indulgent dish featuring a medley of seafood and vegetables in a rich, creamy sauce topped with golden, flaky pastry. It’s perfect for cozy dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb mixed seafood (shrimp, scallops, crab, or fish)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup seafood or chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry or 1 pie crust
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a deep pie or baking dish.
  2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onion, celery, carrots, and garlic until soft, about 5–6 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Slowly whisk in broth and cream. Add white wine if using. Simmer until thickened, about 5–7 minutes.
  5. Fold in seafood, peas, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes until seafood just begins to cook.
  6. Pour the filling into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Top with puff pastry or pie crust, trimming and crimping edges to seal. Cut slits in the top and brush with egg wash.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
  9. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use lobster, cod, or halibut for variation.
  • Add mushrooms or corn for extra vegetables.
  • For a rustic crust, use biscuit dough instead of puff pastry.
  • Old Bay or Cajun seasoning adds extra flavor.
  • Let filling cool slightly before topping to avoid soggy crust.
