Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup seafood or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (more to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 lb lump crab meat (or imitation crab)
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a deep pie dish or medium baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Slowly whisk in broth and cream. Stir until thickened, about 3–4 minutes.
  5. Season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
  6. Add shrimp, crab, corn, and peas. Cook for 2–3 minutes until shrimp just turn pink. Remove from heat.
  7. Transfer filling to the prepared dish. Roll out puff pastry slightly to fit and place over the filling. Crimp edges to seal and cut small slits on top for steam to escape.
  8. Brush pastry with beaten egg.
  9. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use a mix of your favorite seafood such as scallops or crawfish.
  • Make filling ahead and refrigerate; add pastry and bake before serving.
  • Adjust spice level with more or less Cajun seasoning or add a dash of hot sauce.
