This easy, creamy shrimp and chicken pot pie is the ultimate comfort food loaded with vegetables and a kick of spice. Serve this dish with biscuits this will be a family favorite.
I came up with this recipe at the age of 13! I know, that is very young but I have loved cooking since before I could remember. This recipe came to me when we were having a lot of people over and knew I needed something fast yet delicious. This shrimp and chicken pot has been one of my go-to recipes ever since and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!
Can you substitute heavy cream?
- heavy cream gives it that thick and delicious flavor but with that being said it is packed with calories. You can use half heavy cream and half and half, it will still give you that rich flavor without all the calories.
Vegetable options:
I am using carrots, onion, and celery but vegetables that would be great in here are;
- Kale
- Mushrooms
- Leeks
- Spinach
