Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and langostino tails to the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until the seafood becomes opaque.
  2. In the same skillet, add chopped onions, bell peppers, and celery. Sauté these vegetables over medium heat for about 5 minutes until they soften.
  3. Create a roux by adding butter to the skillet. Once melted, sprinkle in flour, whisking continuously. Gradually pour in chicken broth and heavy cream.
  4. Return the seared seafood back into the creamy gravy mixture and stir gently. Allow to simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix with milk and mild cheddar cheese, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Pour the seafood filling into a greased baking dish, then dollop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough on top. Preheat your oven to 425°F and bake.
  7. After baking, remove the pot pie from the oven and brush the warm biscuits with melted butter mixed with garlic seasoning.
