Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 pound Cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, medium-sized)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Scallions (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
- 0.25 cups Panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold, diced butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press the dough into the dish and trim any excess from the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork and refrigerate for another 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, heavy cream, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the dill, lemon zest, scallions, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Add the cooked shrimp to the cream mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the shrimp and cream mixture into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs evenly over the top for a crispy finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Let the pie cool slightly for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired.
