Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in top position. Wash and dry produce. Halve, peel and finely dice shallot. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Trim, peel and dice carrots into ½-inch pieces. Quarter lemon. Using kitchen shears, cut along underside of each lobster tail shell, leaving meat intact and stopping at tail. Pull sides apart to expose meat; remove meat and cut into ⅓-inch pieces. Discard shells.
2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium ovenproof pan (large for 4 servings) over medium heat. Add shallot, potatoes and carrots; season with half the Old Bay, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until browned and slightly tender, 4-6 minutes.
3. Add 2 tablespoons butter (4 for 4 servings) to pan. Once melted, stir in flour; cook 1 minute. Stir in 1¼ cups water (1¾ cups for 4), stock concentrate, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in cream cheese until melted, then stir in lobster. If filling seems too thick, add a splash of water. If pan isn’t ovenproof, transfer filling to an 8×8-inch baking dish (9×13-inch for 4).
4. Place 1 tablespoon butter (2 for 4) in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Stir in ¼ teaspoon Old Bay (½ teaspoon for 4). Remove biscuits from package; peel each biscuit apart at center to create two thinner ones. For crispier topping, cut biscuits into quarters. Evenly top filling with biscuits, then brush with Old Bay butter. Bake on top rack until biscuits are golden and lobster is cooked through, 12-15 minutes. Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving.
5. While pot pie cools, in a large bowl, whisk together honey, mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil (2 for 4) and juice from half the lemon. Add mixed greens and almonds; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
6. Divide pot pie and salad between shallow bowls or plates. Serve with remaining lemon wedges.
