Method
 

Procedure
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s hot and ready for your delicious pie!
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-5 minutes until the peppers are tender and the garlic is fragrant. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined fresh shrimp, sautéed vegetables, chopped green onions, salt, black pepper, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh lemon juice. Mix until well incorporated.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and large eggs until smooth. Gently fold in your shrimp mixture until it’s all combined beautifully.
  5. Lay the pre-made pie crust in your pie dish. Pour the creamy shrimp filling evenly into the crust, spreading it gently for even cooking.
  6. If you’d like an extra flavor punch, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filling before baking.
  7. Place your assembled pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. It’s done when the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  8. Once out of the oven, allow the pie to cool for 10-15 minutes, making slicing a breeze and letting the flavors meld.
  9. Before serving, feel free to sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and a hint of freshness!
