Instructions
Creating Cajun Seafood Pot Pie is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Incorporate Seafood: Add the shrimp and crab meat to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turns pink.
5. Create Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and broth. Stir to combine, then add Cajun seasoning, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
6. Add Peas: Stir in the frozen peas and remove the skillet from heat.
7. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out one pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
8. Fill the Crust: Pour the seafood filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
9. Top with Second Crust: Place the second pie crust over the filling. Trim any excess crust and pinch the edges together to seal.
10. Cut Slits: Make a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
11. Brush with Egg Wash: Use the beaten egg to brush over the crust for a beautiful golden finish.
12. Bake the Pie: Place the pot pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
13. Cool Down: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes before serving.
With these steps, you’ll create a remarkable Cajun Seafood Pot Pie that is guaranteed to impress!
