Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 1 pound Gulf Shrimp Use fresh or thawed frozen shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • 1 cup Cream Consider substituting with heavy cream or dairy-free options if desired.
  • 1 cup Vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions) Feel free to mix in favorites like spinach or mushrooms.
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning Alternatively, use Cajun seasoning for a bolder taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest Lime zest can give it a refreshing twist.
Crust
  • 1 each Pie Crust Choose store-bought for ease or make your own for a personal touch.
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs Regular breadcrumbs work too or leave them off for softness.
  • 1 cup Cheese (e.g., cheddar) Optional for extra creaminess; stir in different cheeses for variations.

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Pie Pan
  • Oven

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and sauté diced vegetables like bell peppers and onions for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Fold in the shrimp and cook until they turn opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in cream, Old Bay seasoning, and lemon zest until well combined, then remove from heat.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a pie crust in a standard pie pan.
  5. Pour the creamy shrimp filling into the crust and spread it evenly. Optionally, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and add a layer of panko breadcrumbs.
  6. Bake for approximately 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and slightly puffed.
  7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
