Pot pies are tantalizing, and one with shrimp will go a long way during Lent.

Shrimp Pot Pie

½ cup tomato paste

1 teaspoon honey

2 teaspoons olive oil

1½ cups chopped onion

1½ cups chopped green bell pepper

2 tablespoons flour

¾ pound peeled raw shrimp

¾ cup frozen peas

1 tablespoon Cajun or Creole seasoning blend

Salt and ground pepper

4 biscuits from refrigerated packaged dough

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix tomato paste, honey and 1 cup water until smooth; set aside. Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and pepper about ½ minute. Stir in flour and tomato mix. Simmer to thicken. Stir in shrimp, peas and seasoning. Cook 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to oven-proof casserole 6 inches across and 3 inches deep. Take biscuits from package. Stretch each to about 3 inches across. Place as close together as possible over top of pie. Bake 15 minutes. Biscuits will rise and turn golden. Serve.
