BEST SEAFOOD POT PIE
Pot pie ... what is better. Now I like short cuts believe me. I work too, but take the time to cut up a few vegetables and make the cream sauce right in the pan. Well, add a splash of sherry along with some fresh vegetables, some traditional ingredients like frozen peas, chopped shrimp, crab and scallops, and then top with a flaky biscuit. And dinner. My twist ... I like to top with a little cheese before I top with the crust. Pure comfort food

Steps:
- Shrimp -- Prepare your shrimp, scallops and vegetables.
- Vegetable Base -- In a large pot, melt the butter on medium heat. Add the celery, onion, mushrooms, and carrots and cook until soft. Add the sherry to deglaze the pan, then the creole seasoning, salt and pepper, flour to make a light roux and then add the half and half and the chicken broth. Bring back to a medium heat to lighten thicken. Add the peas, shrimp, scallops, and fresh parsley and stir to combine. The last minute add the crab.
- Casserole -- Spray the casserole dish or individual baking dishes (soup bowls or small ramikens with Pam or brush with olive oil) and spoon the pot pie mixture inches Top with a little of the grated cheese.
- Topping -- Take the southern biscuits cut in half, top and bottom half (just thinner so they cook quicker) (Pillsbury or any name brand or you can easily make your own if you want.). Just top the individual dishes or you can top the whole casserole dish. The biscuits can be cut to fit the size of the casserole dish. Brush with some butter to make them crusty brown.
- Bake -- Heat the oven to 350 degrees and bake until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly. About 20-30 minutes depending on your oven. Cook on the middle shelf.

SCALLOP PIE
This recipe was demonstrated by a fellow classmate at an evening course on fish cookery that I took over 30 years ago. It sounded odd - who puts cheddar cheese with scallops!? but tasted delicious. Only use instant potatoes if you can get high quality ones that don't have artificial ingredients or flavors. This make a nice main course served with a salad though would be great served in smaller individual portions as an appetizer. If you make this with bay scallops you may want to reduce the cooking time so you don't end up with rubbery scallops. I like to use a medium sized scallops, if using large ones you may want to cut them in half. Please note that you need to reserve some of the cooking liquid when draining the scallops. Cooking time does not include preparing mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Pre heat over to 375 degrees, grease or spray a 9" pie plate.
- Mix together mashed potatoes 2 Tbl butter and the egg, spoon mix around the edges of your pie plate - use all the potatoes.
- In a sauce pan, bring wine to a boil, reduce to a simmer add scallops and mushrooms cook for 8-10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the liquid, set aside.
- In pan melt butter, then add flour and salt making a roux, cook for a few minutes while stirring, then slowly whisk in the reserved cooking liquid, cook till smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in cheese, mushrooms and scallops.
- Pour scallop mixture into the center of the potatoes and bake for 8 minutes.
- Note.
- The original recipe called for canned mushrooms which I never use now. If you do use them, do not cook them in the initial step with the scallops, just add them with the cheese. To cook them slightly before the short baking time poach them with the scallops, though you could also lightly saute them while making the roux.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Scallops: Fresh scallops have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen scallops. If you can, try to find fresh scallops at your local seafood market.
- Sear the Scallops: Searing the scallops before adding them to the pot pie gives them a nice golden brown color and helps to develop their flavor.
- Use a Good Quality Puff Pastry: The puff pastry is what makes this pot pie so special. Make sure you use a good quality puff pastry that will rise and flake beautifully in the oven.
- Don't Overcook the Pot Pie: The pot pie is done when the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Overcooking the pot pie will make the filling dry and the crust tough.
Conclusion:
Scallop pot pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner.
