Description
A straightforward recipe for a savory shrimp pie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 box (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in milk and chicken broth until the mixture thickens.
- Stir in peas, celery, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the shrimp to the filling mixture and cook until they turn pink, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Place one pie crust in the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the shrimp filling into the crust.
- Place the second pie crust over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and cut a few slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can use pre-cooked shrimp if you reduce the cooking time in the filling mixture.
- For a richer flavor, substitute heavy cream for half of the milk.
