Steps
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the diced carrots, celery, and mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5-6 minutes until tender.
- Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in seafood broth and heavy cream, bringing it to a simmer. Season with paprika, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to thicken for about 5 minutes.
- Gently fold in shrimp, crab meat, and frozen peas. Cook over low heat until the shrimp turns pink, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix in shredded cheddar cheese. Pour in melted butter and buttermilk, mixing gently until just combined.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish and pour the seafood filling into the bottom. Dollop the biscuit dough over it, leaving spaces for steam to escape.
- Bake the assembled pot pie in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Cover loosely with foil if they brown too quickly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley or extra cheese before serving.

Notes
Ensure your butter and buttermilk are cold for flaky biscuits. Season generously for enhanced flavor.
