A Southern American classic blending crispy pie crust, sautéed shrimp, and a rich egg-cheese filling. This adaptable recipe is perfect for family meals, offering a balance of smoky, creamy, and savory flavors in under 40 minutes.
Ingredients
9-inch deep-dish pie crust, pre-baked or homemade
1 tablespoon olive oil (or sunflower oil)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small green bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
8 ounces peeled, cooked shrimp, medium
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup whole milk
2 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Pinch of salt and black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Sauté onion, bell pepper, and garlic in oil until tender. Add Old Bay, smoked paprika, cayenne, and shrimp; cook 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a bowl, whisk cream, milk, eggs, cheese, salt, and pepper. Pour into the crust, then add shrimp mixture and vegetables on top. Bake 25 minutes or until center is set and golden. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Use a gluten-free crust for dietary needs. Substitute green onions for mild onion flavor; red bell pepper for sweeter notes. Omit cayenne for a milder version. To reduce fat, use milk instead of heavy cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
