Method
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
  1. Collect fresh seafood like shrimp, scallops, and fish. Grab some frozen peas and corn. Don’t forget the potatoes, onions, garlic, and your favorite herbs!
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
  1. Chop the onions and garlic finely. Sauté them in a pan with a splash of vegetable broth until they’re soft and fragrant. Add the seafood and cook until just opaque.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
  1. In a separate pot, melt some butter and whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually add vegetable broth and stir until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Step 4: Combine Everything
  1. Mix the sautéed seafood with the sauce. Stir in the peas, corn, and any herbs you love. Let it cool slightly while you prepare the crust.
Step 5: Prepare the Crust
  1. Roll out your pie crust on a floured surface. If you’re feeling adventurous, make your own from scratch or use store-bought for convenience!
Step 6: Assemble the Pie
  1. Place the seafood filling in a pie dish. Cover it with the rolled-out crust, sealing the edges well. Cut a few slits on top for steam to escape.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pie for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy!
  1. Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve it warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of your homemade seafood pie!
