Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1 pie crust
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the pie crust is thawed if using a frozen crust.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent and soft, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until shrimp begin to turn pink, stirring occasionally to prevent overcooking.
- Stir in corn kernels and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.
- Pour heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to combine with shrimp and corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the shrimp, corn, and cream mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set.
- Slice into 6 servings and serve warm.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality shrimp and sweet corn for the most vibrant flavors.
- Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Cook shrimp just until they turn pink to prevent rubbery texture.
- Pie Crust Perfection: For extra flakiness, brush the crust edges with an egg wash before baking.
- Make Ahead Friendly: You can prepare the filling in advance and assemble the pie just before baking.
- Serving Suggestion: Pair with a light green salad or crisp white wine to complement the rich, creamy filling.
- Storage Tip: Refrigerate leftovers and reheat gently to maintain the pie's delicate texture.
