Description
A creamy and savory Florida Shrimp Pie featuring tender shrimp, melted pepper jack cheese, and a flaky crust. Perfect for a light dinner or as an upscale appetizer with a coastal flair.
Ingredients
- 1 frozen deep-dish pie crust (12 oz package)
- ½ cup chive-and-onion cream cheese spread
- 4 large eggs
- 12 oz cooked, peeled, deveined medium shrimp (thawed, drained, and roughly chopped)
- ½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F and place a cookie sheet on the middle rack.
- Let the pie crust thaw for 10–20 minutes, then prick the bottom and sides with a fork.
- Bake the crust on the cookie sheet for 9–11 minutes until lightly golden, then remove and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add eggs one at a time until the mixture is silky.
- Gently fold in the chopped shrimp and shredded pepper jack cheese.
- Pour the filling into the par-baked crust and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and edges turn golden.
- Let the pie rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Prebaking the crust helps avoid a soggy bottom.
- Substitute shrimp with crab, lobster, chicken, or vegetables for variation.
- Can be made ahead by preparing filling in advance.
- Reheat leftovers in oven for best texture.
