Ingredients

• 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 0.5 cup chicken or seafood stock
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (e.g., peas, carrots, and corn)
• 2 pieces refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 large egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken (or seafood) stock, cooking until the mixture thickens into a cream sauce, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 5

Season the sauce with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

Step 6

Add the shrimp and frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, just until the shrimp begin to turn pink.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out one of the pie crusts and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 8

Pour the shrimp mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Roll out the second pie crust and gently lay it over the filling. Seal the edges by crimping with a fork, and cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Easy Shrimp Pie!
