Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough (Crust):

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed

1 egg (for egg wash)

1 tbsp water

For the Filling:

2 tbsp butter

1/2 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup celery, diced

1/2 cup carrots, diced

1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 cup seafood or fish broth

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)

1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp paprika

1/2 cup frozen peas

1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 lb scallops, cut into halves if large

1/2 lb white fish (such as cod or haddock), cut into chunks

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Prepare the Filling:

In a large pan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté onions, garlic, celery, carrots, and mushrooms until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute until slightly golden.

Make the Creamy Sauce:

Gradually whisk in seafood broth, followed by heavy cream and white wine (if using).

Add Old Bay seasoning, salt, pepper, and paprika. Let simmer for 3 minutes until thickened.

Cook the Seafood:

Stir in peas, shrimp, scallops, and white fish. Cook for 2 minutes, just until seafood starts to turn opaque.

Remove from heat, stir in parsley and lemon juice. Let cool slightly.

Assemble the Pot Pie:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Divide the seafood filling into 4 individual ramekins or one large 9-inch pie dish.

Roll out puff pastry slightly and cut to fit over the top of your ramekins or pie dish.

Place the pastry over the filling, sealing the edges. Cut a small slit in the center to allow steam to escape.

Bake:

Whisk egg with 1 tbsp water and brush over the pastry.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.

Serve:

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

Substitute lobster or crab for a more luxurious version.

If you prefer a flakier crust, use pie dough instead of puff pastry.

To make ahead, prepare the filling a day in advance and assemble just before baking.

Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
