Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Crust

  • 1 pre-made pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) to allow it to reach the proper baking temperature while you prepare the filling.
  2. Sauté vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic until they become soft and fragrant, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  3. Cook shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet with the vegetables and cook until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Prepare custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, paprika, salt, and pepper until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Combine filling: Mix the cooked shrimp and vegetable mixture into the egg and cream custard, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
  6. Fill the crust: Pour the shrimp custard mixture into the pre-made pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake the pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust turns golden brown.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the filling to set properly.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh bell peppers with frozen if fresh are unavailable; just be sure to drain any excess moisture.
  • For a richer flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the custard mixture.
  • Ensure the shrimp are cooked but not overdone to maintain tenderness in the pie.
  • This pie pairs well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and gently reheated.
