Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add diced onions and minced garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Incorporate the mixed vegetables into the skillet, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through and tender.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetable mixture, stirring for about 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
  5. Slowly pour in the seafood stock and heavy cream, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add the shrimp, scallops, crab meat, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to ensure the seafood is evenly distributed.
Assembly
  1. Pour the seafood mixture into a pie dish and cover it with a pie crust.
  2. Seal the edges by crimping or pressing down. Make slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Baking
  1. Place the assembled pot pie into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Notes

Prepare the filling a day ahead for improved flavor. Serve hot with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
