Directions

  • 1 In 2-quart saucepan, heat 2 cups water and the salt to boiling over high heat. Add potatoes; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium; cover and simmer 5 to 7 minutes or until tender; drain.
  • 2 Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 11x7-inch (2-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
  • 3 Meanwhile, in heavy 3-quart saucepan, cook bacon over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp. Remove bacon; crumble and set aside. Using wire whisk, stir flour into bacon drippings. Gradually stir in clam juice, whipping cream and onion salt. Heat until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly. Stir in potatoes, bacon, peas and carrots, corn and thyme. Cook 3 to 4 minutes longer or until hot. Stir in shrimp and crabmeat. Spoon mixture into baking dish.
  • 4 On lightly floured surface, unfold pastry. Roll into 12x8-inch rectangle. With sharp knife, cut slits in pastry to allow steam to escape. Place pastry in baking dish over hot seafood mixture. Roll outer edges of pastry over edges of baking dish, and press onto edges.
  • 5 Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Made this tonight and loved it. I cut back on the thyme though since we aren't huge fans and it was still delicious. Love the Old Bay suggestion. :)

We are from Maryland so we used Old Bay spiced steamed shrimp and seasoned to taste with Old Bay. Delicious! I will be making this one again, and again, and again! You can leave the bacon out and just add Old Bay :)

gjack1229, interesting quandary. Okay, try using a tablespoon of olive oil and use a soy based bacon bit substitute found at your local supermarket(the name is similar to bacon). It won't be 100% for the same flavor but it should be in the ballpark for the effect. The oil amount is a best guess as rendered bacon fat will vary by package.

gjack1229 you can get soy bacon in the frozen foods department with the other veggie meats.
