Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

✔ Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). ✔ Roll out pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, crimp edges, and prick the bottom with a fork. ✔ Brush with egg wash, bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables & Shrimp

✔ Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. ✔ Add onion, celery, and bell pepper, cook 3–4 minutes until soft. ✔ Stir in garlic & seasonings, cook 1 more minute. ✔ Add chopped shrimp, cook 2–3 minutes until pink but not overcooked. ✔ Remove shrimp mixture from the skillet, set aside.

Step 3: Make the Cream Sauce

✔ In the same skillet, sprinkle flour, whisk well. ✔ Slowly add heavy cream & milk, whisk until thickened. ✔ Stir in Dijon mustard, lemon zest, and cheeses until smooth. ✔ Return shrimp mixture to the skillet, stir to combine, remove from heat.

Step 4: Assemble & Bake

✔ Pour shrimp filling into the pre-baked crust, spread evenly. ✔ In a bowl, mix Panko, melted butter, Parmesan & parsley, sprinkle over the top. ✔ Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden & bubbling. ✔ Let cool 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

✔ Serve warm with salad, roasted vegetables, or coleslaw. ✔ Drizzle with lemon juice or hot sauce for extra flavor.

Tips for the Best Shrimp Pie

✔ Use fresh Gulf shrimp for maximum flavor. ✔ Don’t overcook shrimp—they’ll continue cooking in the oven. ✔ Try a puff pastry crust for a flakier texture. ✔ Make it gluten-free by swapping cornstarch for flour & gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Storage & Reheating

✔ Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. ✔ Reheat in a 350°F oven until warm.
