Ingredients

• 200 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 sheet pre-made pie crust dough
• 120 grams cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 50 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with parchment paper cups.

Step 2

Roll out the pre-made pie crust dough on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cutter (approximately 8 cm in diameter) to cut out 12 circles. Press each circle into the cups of the muffin tin, shaping them into mini pie crusts. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink and fully cooked. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

Chop the cooked shrimp into small pieces and set aside.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Fold the chopped shrimp into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Spoon the shrimp mixture into the prepared pie crusts, filling them nearly to the top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the mini shrimp pies cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before gently removing them.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with additional green onions or a sprinkle of paprika if desired.
