Ingredients
Scale
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced bell pepper (a mix of red, green, and yellow for color)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie crust (or make your own from scratch)
1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté the vegetables until they are softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux. Gradually pour in the heavy cream and whole milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, dried thyme, dried oregano, and ground nutmeg. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Gently fold in the peeled and deveined shrimp until they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
Unroll the refrigerated pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish, allowing the excess dough to hang over the edges. Pour the shrimp filling into the prepared pie crust.
Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal them. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
Brush the top crust with the egg wash, which will give it a golden, shiny appearance when baked.
Place the assembled pie on a baking sheet and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil to prevent burning.
Allow the Florida Shrimp Pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
