Creating Florida Shrimp Pie is simple and enjoyable. Follow these steps for a perfect pie:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
3. Cook the Shrimp: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Add Cheese and Herbs: Stir in the shredded cheese, parsley, dill, and cooked shrimp. If using, add the diced bell pepper or green onion.
6. Combine Ingredients: Pour the shrimp mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
8. Cool the Pie: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
9. Slice and Serve: Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
