Luxurious lobster pot pie stars tender chunks of lobster in an Old Bay–spiced cream sauce, all tucked beneath flaky buttermilk biscuits brushed with spiced butter. On the side, a bright honey-Dijon salad cuts through the richness with just the right zip.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and finely dice shallot. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim, peel, and dice carrots into ½-inch pieces. Quarter lemon.

  • Using kitchen shears, cut along underside of each lobster* shell, leaving meat intact and stopping at tail. Pull sides of shell apart to expose meat. Remove meat and cut into ⅓-inch pieces. Discard shells.

Start Pot Pie
2
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium, preferably ovenproof, pan (large, preferably ovenproof, pan for 4 servings) over medium heat. Add shallot, potatoes, and carrots; season with half the Old Bay Seasoning (you’ll use more in Step 4), salt, and pepper.

  • Cook, stirring constantly, until veggies are browned and slightly tender, 4-6 minutes. 

Add Lobster
3
  • Add 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) to pan with veggies. Once melted, stir in flour; cook for 1 minute.

  • Stir in 1¼ cups water (1¾ cups for 4), stock concentrate, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat.

  • Stir in cream cheese until melted, then stir in lobster. TIP: If filling seems too thick, stir in another splash of water. If your pan isn’t ovenproof, transfer filling to an 8-by-8-inch baking dish (9-by-13-inch baking dish for 4) after stirring in lobster.

Finish Pot Pie
4
  • Place 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Stir in ¼ tsp Old Bay Seasoning (½ tsp for 4). (Be sure to measure the Old Bay—we sent more!)

  • Remove biscuits from package; peel apart each biscuit at center to create two thinner ones. TIP: For a crispier topping, cut biscuits into quarters instead of peeling them apart.

  • Evenly top lobster filling with biscuits, then brush with Old Bay butter.

  • Bake on top rack until biscuits are golden brown and lobster is cooked through, 12-15 minutes. Let pot pie cool at least 5 minutes before serving.

Make Salad
5
  • While pot pie cools, in a large bowl, whisk together honey, mustard, 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and juice from half the lemon.
  • Add mixed greens and almonds; toss to coat. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Serve
6
  • Divide pot pie and salad between shallow bowls or plates. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Apr 2026
  • Flavor: Many loved the rich, flavorful taste, though some found it bland and suggest adding extra Old Bay, garlic, or herbs.
  • Ease of prep: Several noted it takes over an hour to prepare; cutting biscuits into quarters ensures better coverage and crispier topping.
  • Suggestions: Use less potato and more lobster for better balance; add garlic to the salad dressing for extra flavor.
  • Portions: Generous portion sizes, though the ratio feels more like potato pot pie with scattered lobster.
