2 tsp garlic powder

1 1/2 c buttermilk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350* and lightly grease 4 (2 cup) oven safe bowls, and place on a pan. Chop all your veggies up and place in container, and prepare and place your seafood in separate bowls. For larger shrimp I cut them in half, and for the LARGE scallops I halve and quarter them.

Stir in Cajun seasoning, sherry and Parmesan. Stir in half & half and cook for 5 minutes until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and add shrimp, crab and scallops, stirring well to incorporate. Spoon into your prepared dishes.
  • 3. In a medium bowl combine baking mix, cornmeal, garlic powder and cheddar cheese; stir well to mix throughout. Slowly stir in your buttermilk until dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon mixture over your seafood and spread liberally. Into the oven for 25 minutes at 350*and.........POW!!!!!!
  • 4. Served with a Fresh Strawberry Spinach Salad with Poppyseed Dressing, sprinkled with Onion Straws.... My guests would not stop eating long enough for me to get a picture of the "inside" of the Pot Pie....... Oh well!!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose Fresh Seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better your dish will taste. If you can, buy seafood that was caught or harvested within the last 24 hours.
  • Cook Seafood Properly: Seafood is a delicate protein, so it's important to cook it properly to avoid overcooking and drying it out. Use a gentle cooking method, such as steaming, baking, or poaching, and cook the seafood just until it is opaque and flaky.
  • Use a Variety of Flavors: Seafood pairs well with a variety of flavors, so don't be afraid to experiment. Try using herbs, spices, citrus, and other bold flavors to create a dish that is both delicious and visually appealing.
  • Serve Seafood Immediately: Seafood is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve its flavor and texture.
