Ingredients:

• • 500g (1 lb) mixed seafood (such as shrimp, haddock, and scallops)

• • 1 cup heavy cream

• • 1 cup fish stock

• • 2 tablespoons butter

• • 1 onion, chopped

• • 2 cloves garlic, minced

• • 200g (7 oz) frozen peas

• • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• • Salt and pepper, to taste

• • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

• • 1/2 cup milk

• • 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese (optional)

• • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the potatoes: Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash them with milk and a bit of butter. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Cook the filling: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir for a minute before gradually adding the fish stock and cream. Stir continuously until thickened.

Add seafood: Gently fold in the mixed seafood and peas. Add Dijon mustard and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

Assemble the pie: Pour the seafood mixture into an oven-safe dish. Top with the creamy mashed potatoes, spreading evenly. If desired, sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

Bake: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
