Ingredients
– 1 frozen deep-dish pie crust (12 oz package)
– ½ cup chive-and-onion cream cheese spread (from an 8 oz container)
– 4 large eggs
– 12 oz frozen cooked medium shrimp, thawed, peeled, deveined, and coarsely chopped
– ½ cup shredded pepper Jack cheese (about 2 oz)
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven to 375°F and place a cookie sheet on the middle rack to keep the crust extra crispy.
2-Thaw the pie crust at room temperature for 10-20 minutes, prick the bottom and sides with a fork, then bake it on the hot cookie sheet for 9-11 minutes until it’s lightly golden. Let it cool a bit before moving on.
3-Beat the chive-and-onion cream cheese until it’s smooth, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well each time. Fold in the chopped shrimp and shredded cheese to create that creamy filling.
4-Pour the mixture evenly into the pre-baked crust for an even bake.
5-Bake the pie on the cookie sheet for 30-35 minutes until the filling sets and the top turns golden and slightly puffed.
6-Let the pie rest at room temperature for 15 minutes this makes slicing easier and improves the texture.
7-Serve it warm, and if you’re pairing it with something like a simple salad, you’re all set for a full meal.
