Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic, diced onion, and chopped celery, sautéing until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour, cooking for an additional minute to form a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of seafood stock and 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring continuously until thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning along with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring well.
  6. Fold in 1 pound of peeled shrimp, cooking until pink, about 2 to 3 minutes, then add cooked lobster meat and chopped parsley.
  7. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of salt for the biscuit topping.
  8. Cut in 1/2 cup of cold grated butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Pour in 3/4 cup of milk, mixing gently until a sticky dough forms.
  10. Spoon the seafood mixture into ramekins or a baking dish. Drop clusters of biscuit dough over the mixture.
  11. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown.
  12. Let the pot pie rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
