For the Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Instructions
Preparation
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Add the heavy cream and stir well.

Prepare the Biscuits
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in cheddar cheese and garlic powder. Gradually pour in milk, mixing until just combined (do not overmix).
Assemble the Pot Pie
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a deep dish, pour in the seafood filling, ensuring it’s evenly spread.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the top of the filling, covering as much of the surface as possible.
Bake
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve
- Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in. Garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy your delicious Cheddar Bay Biscuit Seafood Pot Pie!
Notes
Feel free to swap out the shrimp and fish for your favorite seafood, like crab or scallops. Just ensure they are Halal-compliant! Prepping your filling beforehand will save time. Ensure your seafood is fresh; overbaking the biscuits can make them dry.
