# How to Make It:
01 -
Set oven temperature to 190°C and allow it to fully preheat.
02 -
Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced bell peppers and minced garlic until softened, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped shrimp, sautéed bell peppers and garlic, green onions, salt, black pepper, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk heavy cream and eggs until fully incorporated. Fold the shrimp and vegetable mixture into the cream mixture until well blended.
05 -
Transfer the pie crust into a suitable pie dish. Pour the prepared filling into the crust, ensuring an even distribution.
06 -
If using, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese uniformly over the top of the filling.
07 -
Place the filled pie dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the filling has set and the crust is golden brown.
08 -
Remove pie from oven and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the filling to firm up before slicing.
09 -
If desired, top with freshly chopped parsley before serving for added color and freshness.
# Additional Information:
01 -
Allowing the pie to cool slightly before slicing ensures clean portions and prevents the filling from spilling out.
