Florida Shrimp Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, diced (red or green)
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Shrimp Filling:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add Vegetables and Shrimp:

Stir in the diced bell pepper and corn, cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Add the shrimp, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.

5. Combine and Fill:

Once the shrimp mixture has cooled, combine it with the egg and cheese mixture. Pour this filling into the pre-made pie crust, spreading it evenly.

6. Bake the Pie:

Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

7. Cool and Serve:

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before slicing and serving.
