This Florida Shrimp Pie is a creamy, cheesy seafood delight inspired by the fresh flavors of the Sunshine State. Packed with succulent shrimp, a rich, savory filling, and a buttery crust, this dish is perfect for a coastal-inspired dinner or brunch. It’s a unique twist on seafood pie that brings tropical vibes to your table!
Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimp the edges, and prick the bottom with a fork.
Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside.
Prepare the Shrimp Filling:
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Sauté the onion and bell pepper until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Stir in the chopped shrimp, Old Bay seasoning, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for 2-3 minutes until shrimp turn pink. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Mix the Egg Custard:
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce (if using).
Assemble the Pie:
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheeses over the pre-baked crust.
Evenly spread the shrimp mixture on top.
Pour the egg custard over the filling.
Top with the remaining cheese and fresh parsley.
Bake:
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve & Enjoy:
Garnish with extra parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon for added brightness.
Serve warm with a side salad or fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast.
