Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season shrimp, crab meat, and fish chunks with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Let rest to meld flavors.
Cooking the Seafood
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the seasoned seafood for 3-5 minutes until just opaque and fragrant. Remove seafood and set aside.
Making the Filling
  1. In the same pot, pour in the chicken or seafood broth and whisk in heavy cream. Simmer until the mixture thickens.
  2. Add frozen mixed vegetables and cook until tender and vibrant.
  3. Incorporate the sautéed seafood back into the pot, mixing with the cream and vegetables.
Preparing the Biscuits
  1. In a bowl, combine the cheddar bay biscuit mix with milk, folding until a soft dough forms. Avoid over-mixing.
Assembly

  2. Preheat oven to 375°F and bake for 15-17 minutes until tops are golden brown.
  3. Brush tops with melted butter before serving.
