Delight in this Seafood Shepherd’s Pie with Crab & Shrimp, a comforting blend of classic flavors and ocean freshness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can Crab (canned crab can be used to keep costs down)
- 1 pound Shrimp (frozen shrimp, properly thawed and patted dry)
- 2 cups Vegetables (e.g., Peas, Carrots; substitutions include corn or green beans)
- 4 cups Mashed Potatoes (freshly made or store-bought for convenience)
- 4 tablespoons Butter (consider replacing with olive oil for a lighter option)
- 1/2 cup Milk/Cream (substitute with plant-based milk if dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon Seasonings (e.g., Old Bay, Paprika; adjust according to personal taste preferences)
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, then mash with butter and milk until smooth.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté chosen vegetables until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in crab and shrimp, cooking until just warmed through, about 2-3 minutes. Season with Old Bay and paprika.
- Gently mix the seafood and sautéed vegetables in the skillet, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
- Spread the seafood mixture in a baking dish. Dollop the creamy mashed potatoes on top and smooth it out.
- Bake in preheated oven at 375°F for 20-30 minutes, until top is slightly golden and bubbling.
- Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving, to help layers set.
