Instructions

Creating Cajun Seafood Pot Pie is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps for a successful dish:

1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and softened.
3. Add the Potatoes and Carrots: Stir in the diced potatoes and carrots. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
4. Create the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring to coat. Slowly whisk in the vegetable or seafood broth and heavy cream, mixing until the sauce thickens.
5. Incorporate Seafood: Add the shrimp and crab meat to the skillet, along with Cajun seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Add Peas: Gently fold in the frozen peas until well combined. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
7. Prepare the Pie Crust: Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. If using a store-bought crust, fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
8. Fill the Pie: Pour the seafood filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
9. Top with Crust: Roll out another pie crust to cover the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork or your fingers. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
10. Bake: Place the pot pie in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
11. Cool Before Serving: Once out of the oven, let the pot pie cool for about 15 minutes before slicing. This will help the filling set and make serving easier.
