Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Florida Shrimp Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and minced garlic, stirring frequently for about 3-5 minutes until softened.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of chopped shrimp with the sautéed vegetables, salt, black pepper, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice, stirring until mixed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of heavy cream and 2 large eggs until smooth. Gently fold in the shrimp mixture.
  5. Place your pre-made pie crust into a pie dish and pour the shrimp filling into the crust.
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top if using.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  8. Let the pie cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  9. Optionally sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving.
