Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 200 grams, peeled and deveined shrimp
- 150 grams lump crab meat
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.75 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup fish stock or seafood broth
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish with unsalted butter.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the shrimp and crab meat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp is just pink. Remove from heat and stir in the parsley, paprika, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and the remaining 0.25 teaspoons of salt and black pepper.
In a large measuring cup, whisk the milk, eggs, and half of the cheese until well combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet milk mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the fish stock or seafood broth into the pie dish, spreading it evenly to coat the bottom.
Layer the cooked seafood mixture into the dish as an even base.
Pour the prepared batter over the seafood mixture and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining grated cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Impossible Seafood Pie!
