Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic, diced onion, and chopped celery; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour to form a roux, cooking for 1 minute.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of seafood stock and 1 cup of heavy cream. Cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  5. Season with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir in 1 pound of shrimp and cook until pink; fold in chopped lobster and parsley.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, garlic powder, and salt for the biscuit topping.
  7. Cut in 1/2 cup of cold, grated butter until crumbly. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Mix in 3/4 cup of whole milk until just combined.
  9. Spoon the seafood mixture into ramekins or a baking dish and drop biscuit dough over the top, leaving gaps for steam to escape.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown.
  11. Let the pot pie rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
