Description

A delicious and creamy Jumbo Lump Crab Pot Pie recipe that is perfect for seafood lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound jumbo lump crab meat, picked over for shells
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Stir in the Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  7. Gently fold in the crab meat and frozen peas. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  8. Pour the crab mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  9. Cover with the top crust, sealing the edges. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  10. Brush the top with the beaten egg.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  12. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the filling while it simmers.
  • You can substitute the crab with shrimp or lobster for a different seafood twist.
  • For a healthier option, use a whole wheat pie crust or make a crustless version by baking the filling in a greased casserole dish.
