For seafood lovers. Almost any combination of firm fish will work, including lobster or shrimp. The recipe calls for puff pastry, but I had some phyllo on hand, so that’s what I used and it worked out fine.
Be sure and note that the
potatoes need to be pre-cooked.
Seafood Pot Pie
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 leek,
sliced, green parts removed
- 1 celery,
diced
- 1
carrot, peeled and diced
- 3 tbsp
unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp
all purpose flour
- ¼ tsp
ground cayenne pepper
- 3 cups
whole milk
- 1 tbsp
thyme leaves, chopped
- 2 large
Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, diced and cooked
- 2 lbs
mixed firm seafood — I used shrimp (peeled) cod and turbot cut into
1" pieces
- 1 tbsp
flat leaf parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp
dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp
chives, chopped
- ½
jalapeno, finely diced
- 1 cup
shredded old cheddar cheese
- Kosher
salt (to taste)
- 1 sheet
pre-rolled all butter puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg
white (mix with 1 tbsp water for egg wash)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 425F.
In a large cast iron skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Add the
leeks, celery and carrot and saute until softened, 5-7 minutes. Push the
vegetables to the edge of the pan.
Melt the butter in the
centre and sprinkle over the flour and cayenne pepper. Whisk together to form a
roux and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the milk and whisk. Add the seafood and
season to taste. Bring the filling up to a simmer.
While the filling is
heating, lay out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut a puff pastry circle
about 1" smaller than the size of your cast iron pan.
Remove pan from heat,
stir in cooked potatoes and herbs, sprinkle with minced jalapeno and grated
cheese, and top with puff pasty circle. Cut two vents in the pastry and brush an
egg wash.
Bake until puff pastry
is golden and cooked through, 20-25 minutes.
The recipe for Seafood Pot Pie sounds heavenly and has already made me hungry this morning. Can't wait to try it because we love anything with the word "seafood" in it plus this looks fairly easy to make making it a double bonus.

The recipe sounds delicious but all I can think about now is wishing that I was sitting in the scene of that book cover; looking out of the hydrangea framed window at the ocean and sipping tea! It would sure beat sitting at my desk at work!

Not enough room in my kitchen to make a dish with many ingredients. cheetahthecat1986ATgmailDOTcom
ReplyDeleteSeafood chowder with a "lid". Genius.
ReplyDelete"1 celery, diced" Am I right that this means one rib?
You say you used turbot, but the photo shows tilapia.
libbydodd at comcast dot net
I don’t even know what a rib of celery is. I guess it’s the stalk without the leaves or the hard end. So yes. I have made this recipe several times and use different to combinations
