Ingredients

For the filling:
2 tablespoons butter
1/2cup onion (chopped)
1/2cup celery (chopped)
1/2cup carrots (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4cup all-purpose flour
2cups seafood stock (or chicken broth)
1/2cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1/2pound scallops or white fish (cut into chunks)
1/2cup frozen peas
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
For the biscuit topping:
2cups all-purpose baking mix (like Bisquick)
1cup shredded cheddar cheese
2/3cup milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons butter (melted)
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Sprinkle in flour and stir until it forms a paste. Gradually whisk in seafood stock and heavy cream. Cook until thickened, 4–5 minutes. Season with Old Bay, salt, and pepper. Stir in shrimp, scallops (or fish), peas, and parsley. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, just until seafood is slightly cooked. Remove from heat.
Pour the filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, mix baking mix, shredded cheddar, milk, and garlic powder until a soft dough forms. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the filling. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until biscuits are golden and cooked through.
Brush biscuit tops with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For extra richness, stir a splash of white wine into the filling.
