Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cup chicken or seafood stock
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (e.g., peas, carrots, and corn)
- 2 pieces refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken (or seafood) stock, cooking until the mixture thickens into a cream sauce, about 3-5 minutes.
Season the sauce with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Add the shrimp and frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, just until the shrimp begin to turn pink.
On a floured surface, roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
Pour the shrimp mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Roll out the second pie crust and gently lay it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork, and cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Easy Shrimp Pie!
