Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 10 oz refrigerated pie dough for a 9-inch pie plate
  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter for sautéing
  • 0.5 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 0.5 cup diced celery
  • 0.5 cup diced sweet onion
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup whole milk room temperature
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1.25 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp hot sauce to taste
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 0.75 cup crushed buttery cracker crumbs for topping
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted for topping
  • 0.25 tsp paprika for topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Fit pie dough into a 9-inch pie plate, prick, and blind-bake 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Melt 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, celery, and bell pepper until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add chopped shrimp. Sauté until just pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl.
  • Sprinkle flour into the empty skillet. Cook 1 minute, stirring, to make a light roux.
  • Whisk in milk gradually until smooth. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Whisk in mayonnaise, lemon juice, Old Bay, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper.
  • Fold in cheddar and parsley until the cheese starts to melt. Combine sauce with the shrimp and vegetables.
  • Spoon filling into the par-baked crust. Mix cracker crumbs with melted butter and paprika; scatter evenly over the top.
  • Bake until bubbly and golden, 18 to 22 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Variation: Swap cheddar for a mix of Monterey Jack and a little Parmesan, or add a pinch of cayenne for more heat. To serve, squeeze on extra lemon and top with fresh parsley. Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 2 days; reheat in a 325°F oven to keep the crust crisp.
