• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1 cup of seafood or chicken broth
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent.
3. Add the mixed seafood to the skillet, cooking until just opaque. Remove the seafood and set aside.
4. Whisk in the flour to the skillet until a paste forms. Gradually add the heavy cream and broth, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens.
5. Add the peas and carrots, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and dill. Return the seafood to the skillet, stirring to combine. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
6. For the biscuit topping, in a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
7. Stir in the buttermilk and melted butter until just combined, then fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
8. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the seafood filling in the baking dish, spreading slightly.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
10. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
