Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh shrimp
- 1 pre-made pie crust
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
Herbs, Seasonings, and Aromatics:
- ½ cup diced onion
- ½ cup diced bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté ½ cup diced onions and ½ cup bell peppers until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
- Toss 1 pound peeled shrimp with 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning. Cook shrimp until pink and opaque, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Whisk 1 cup heavy cream with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Gently press pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming excess edges.
- Spread shrimp mixture evenly across the pie crust. Pour cream and cheese mixture over the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until crust turns golden brown and filling becomes bubbly.
- Allow pie to rest for 10 minutes before cutting. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- Fresh Gulf shrimp work best for authentic Florida flavor, so grab local seafood if possible.
- Sauté vegetables until just soft to maintain their bright color and prevent mushiness in your pie.
- Letting the filling cool slightly before adding to the crust prevents soggy bottom and helps maintain structural integrity.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream and use a whole wheat pie crust to boost nutritional value.
