  • Rolling pin (optional)
  • Baking dish (9-inch pie dish or similar)
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 lb scallops
  • 1/2 lb crab meat
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups seafood stock or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 refrigerated pie crust store-bought or homemade

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Seafood and Vegetables:
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  • Make the Creamy Base:
  • Gradually whisk in the seafood stock or chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the heavy cream, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  • Add the Seafood and Vegetables:
  • Add the shrimp, scallops, crab meat, frozen corn, and peas to the skillet. Cook until the seafood is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
  • Assemble the Pot Pie:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Pour the seafood mixture into a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish.
  • Place the pie crust over the top of the seafood mixture. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake the Pot Pie:
  • Place the pot pie in the preheated oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 25-30 minutes.
  • Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
