Creamy Fish and Shrimp Pie
Ingredients
  • 6 medium potatoes
  • 1/2 cup butter, divided
  • 1 medium white Spanish onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups grated medium Cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups light cream, or as needed
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 pounds white fish - skinned, boned, and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Firstly, set the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, carefully make a small incision in each potato and arrange them on a baking sheet.
3
Then, place the potatoes in the preheated oven and let them cook for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork.
4
While the potatoes are almost done, melt 1/4 cup of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add some sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and translucent, taking around 5 minutes.
5
Mix in the grated Cheddar cheese, a splash of cream, a dash of mustard, and some juice from a lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Continue cooking the sauce, stirring frequently, until it's warm and the Cheddar has melted, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes. Remove it from the heat source.
7
Place the white fish and shrimp in a 3 1/2-quart oven-safe dish. Pour the cheese sauce over them and stir until everything is well combined.
8
Scoop out the flesh from the baked potatoes and transfer it to a large bowl. Discard the potato skins.
9
Add the remaining 1/4 cup of butter to the bowl and season with salt and pepper. Use a fork to mash everything together until the butter has melted and the potatoes are smooth.
10
Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the fish.
11
Return the dish to the oven and let it cook for another 55 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the potato topping is golden brown.
