Ingredients
1 9-inch pie crust
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9-inch pie dish with the crust, prick the bottom with a fork, and blind bake for 10–12 minutes. Let cool slightly.
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter and sauté shrimp with salt and pepper for 2–3 minutes until just pink. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. In a bowl, whisk eggs, cream, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Stir in green onions and most of the cheese.
4. Layer the cooked shrimp evenly in the crust. Pour egg mixture over the top and sprinkle with remaining cheese and chopped parsley.
5. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 35–40 minutes or until set and golden. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Let the pie rest after baking to firm up before slicing.
Use fresh or fully thawed shrimp to avoid excess water in the filling.
Blind baking the crust ensures a crisp bottom and prevents sogginess.
