½ cup dry white wine (we used chardonnay)

2 cups seafood stock
1 T diced tarragon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
½ cup heavy cream

Making Seafood Pot Pie with Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Preparation:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Cooking the Filling:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, coat with a couple tablespoons of olive oil.
• Add chopped carrots, celery, shallots, onions and potatoes. Sauté until tender. Roughly 5-6 minutes.
• Pour in the white wine and cook for about 5 minutes until it’s nearly evaporated.
• Add the butter and heat until melted.
• Add the flour and stir constantly for 1 minute. It should get some color to it but not much.
• Add the seafood stock and tarragon. Give that a stir and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Season with cayenne, salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove from heat. Stir in the heavy cream and then add the tails.

Making the Biscuits:

• Use a good ol’ red lobster cheddar bay biscuit mix.
• Prepare per the directions on the box.

Baking:

• Drop large spoonfuls of the batter on top of the pie filling.
• Put in the oven for 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and brush on the garlic butter mixture onto the biscuits.
• Put it back in the oven for an additional 3-4 minutes until it is nicely brown.

Notes:

• Cayenne definitely adds a kick so adjust to your liking.
• Peas would be a good addition to the recipe.
• Sherry is typically used in this recipe, but a nice Chardonnay like Big Churn can be a great substitute.
• One cast iron skillet can be used to cook up the whole recipe. If you’d like, you can make the filling and transport it to a different baking dish to finish up the baking portion of the recipe.
