Follow these easy steps to prepare your Florida Shrimp Pie:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they’re soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Cook the Shrimp: Add the fresh shrimp to the skillet. Cook them until they turn pink, which takes roughly 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Combine the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, Old Bay seasoning, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
5. Mix Together: Add the sautéed shrimp and vegetables to the bowl with the cream mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
6. Prepare the Pie Crust: Lay the pre-made pie crust in a pie dish, ensuring it fits snugly.
7. Fill the Crust: Pour the shrimp filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
9. Cool Slightly: Once baked, take the pie out of the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
10. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving for a pop of color and freshness.

By following these instructions, you’ll create a flawless Florida Shrimp Pie that’s sure to impress.
