Ingredients
- For the Pie Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 4-5 tablespoons ice water
- For the Filling:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Comments: Ensure the shrimp are thoroughly cleaned. For a richer flavor, you can use a combination of seafood stock and cream for the sauce.
Instructions
- Pie Crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, stirring until a dough forms.
- Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the crust in the dish and trim the edges.
- Filling:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add onion and garlic, sautéing until soft. Add shrimp, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove shrimp and set aside.
- In the same skillet, whisk together heavy cream, milk, and flour over low heat until it thickens.
- Stir in Parmesan and parsley, then return the shrimp to the skillet, mixing well.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra golden crust, brush the pie with an egg wash before baking.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
- This pie pairs wonderfully with a light, crisp salad for a balanced meal.
