My new favorite pot pie is this one, a Seafood Pot Pie, made using frozen shrimp and imitation crab.
I used to buy those frozen pot pies, thinking it would be WAY too much work to make my own pot pie. But thanks to prepared pie crusts, it is actually really easy to make my own!
It started with my friend Danielle and her super-easy chicken pot pie recipe (check it out! Danielle's Super-Easy Chicken Pot Pie), and now I am experimenting with all different kinds of pot pies.
When buying shrimp, and seafood in general, I always try to choose the brands that are wild-caught, if at all possible. They are healthier than the farmed seafood. Wild-caught is usually a little more expensive, however, so that is the trade-off.
For the crab, I love to use the imitation stuff instead of the real thing, because it is a LOT less expensive, and in this kind of dish it really doesn't make a big difference. If I wanted to make this recipe for a special occasion or to serve to dinner guests, I would probably use real crab, though. 😉

This sounds so delicious and would be a really nice change from what I usually make for dinner. My son would say I'm in a rut. I would say I'm consistent 😉 Thanks for joining us at #SaucySaturdays.

I've never had a seafood pot pie before. Wow, does it ever look and sound delicious. I think my oldest daughter would go crazy over this (I swear that kid would eat a whole package of imitation crab if she were given the chance)!
Thanks for sharing (and for linking up to the #SHINEbloghop).
Wishing you a lovely evening.
