Equipment

9-inch pie dish
baking sheet to catch drips
Skillet for sautéing
whisk & mixing bowls
cutting board & knife

Ingredients

1 9-inch unbaked pastry shell
1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup milk
3 large eggs
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the unbaked pastry shell into a 9-inch pie dish and set on a baking sheet.
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, milk, eggs, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and cayenne until smooth.
Add sautéed vegetables and shrimp to the pie shell. Pour custard mixture evenly over the filling.
Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until pie is set and golden on top. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Swap Cheddar with Monterey Jack, Gouda, or a blend for a flavor twist. Red bell pepper adds more color, and scallions brighten the dish. Add Cajun seasoning or hot sauce for extra spice. Leftovers reheat beautifully!
