Instructions
- Preheat & Prep Crust: Place a cookie sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Let the frozen pie crust thaw for 10-20 minutes, then prick the bottom and sides with a fork to prevent air bubbles. Bake for 9-11 minutes until lightly golden, then set aside.
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the chive-and-onion cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each to fully incorporate. Fold in chopped shrimp and shredded Pepper Jack cheese until evenly mixed.
- Assemble & Bake: Pour the mixture into the pre-baked crust, smoothing the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Let the pie stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Pre-baking the crust helps prevent sogginess.
- Ensure shrimp is well-drained before adding to the mixture.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne or Old Bay seasoning.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
