SEAFOOD POT PIE
Bubbly warm goodness under a crispy crust. Another one dish wonder from Ina. House Beautiful Magazine, September 2009 edition. I have tasted Ina Garten's Lobster Potpie and it was awesome - so how can you improve on something so delicious but she has!!! "One of my philosphies of cooking is to take a recipe you are totally comfortable making, and then have three variations of it up your sleeve." She also says that "she loves all kinds of potpies -- chicken, lobster, vegetable, plus the one with seafood. 1 process = 4 recipes and you have a whole dinner in one dish that goes from the oven to the table. How easy is that?" I really love the way this lady thinks, creates recipes, cooks with ease and has awesome & lovely dinner parties. :) Rated 5 stars out of 525 reviews. Believe it or not - this recipe has been reworked since I tasted it the first time from her 1999 The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. This can be served to anyone - it can become a family meal or one for guests! Oops - almost forgot the pastry dough has a 30 minute chilling time - sorry ;) I know - it is once in a lifetime experience!

BEST SEAFOOD POT PIE
Pot pie ... what is better. Now I like short cuts believe me. I work too, but take the time to cut up a few vegetables and make the cream sauce right in the pan. Well, add a splash of sherry along with some fresh vegetables, some traditional ingredients like frozen peas, chopped shrimp, crab and scallops, and then top with a flaky biscuit. And dinner. My twist ... I like to top with a little cheese before I top with the crust. Pure comfort food

Ingredients associated with Mediterranean fish stews -- garlic, fennel, saffron, and seafood -- are brought together in our Provencal potpie, which is served with garlicky aioli; the pie is topped with convenient store-bought puff pastry, whose layers won't overwhelm the lobster, shrimp, bass, and halibut underneath.

INDIVIDUAL SPICY SEAFOOD POTPIES
These are really "faux" potpies, since the pastries are baked separately, but they are elegant nevertheless. Cod or halibut may be used instead of the wild striped bass.

Tips:
- Use a variety of seafood for a more flavorful pot pie. Consider using a combination of shrimp, lobster, crab, and scallops.
- If you don't have any seafood on hand, you can use a combination of cooked chicken and vegetables instead.
- Be sure to cook the seafood thoroughly before adding it to the pot pie. Overcooked seafood will become tough and chewy.
- Use a thickener such as flour, cornstarch, or arrowroot powder to help thicken the pot pie filling.
- If you want a crispy crust, brush the top of the pot pie with melted butter or an egg wash before baking.
- Serve the pot pie hot with a side of salad or mashed potatoes.
