How to Make Florida Southern Shrimp Pie 🍤🥧

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature for baking our shrimp pie.
2. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, diced tomatoes, corn, and green onions. This colorful mixture is the heart of your pie!
3. In another bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. This creamy blend will hold everything together.
4. Carefully combine the shrimp mixture with the mayonnaise mixture. Stir until everything is well combined, and enjoy the delightful seafood aroma!
5. Pour the delicious filling into the pre-made pie crust. Don’t worry if it looks a bit full – that’s what makes it so good!
6. Top with shredded cheddar cheese for that golden, bubbly finish.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This little pause will help the pie set perfectly.

Substitutions & Additions

• Crab or Lobster: Feel free to swap out shrimp for crab or lobster for a more gourmet twist!
• Vegetarian Option: Replace shrimp with sautéed mushrooms or spinach for a tasty vegetarian version.
• Spices: If you love heat, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeños.

Tips for Success

• Don’t overcook the shrimp: If using fresh shrimp, make sure they are just cooked through; they’ll finish cooking in the oven.
• Let it cool: Allowing the pie to cool for a bit before slicing helps it hold its shape.
• Prep ahead: You can prepare the filling ahead of time and assemble just before baking.
