Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Ice water
• 1 pound Cooked shrimp (peeled, deveined, medium-sized)
• 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Scallions (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
• 0.25 cups Panko breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold, diced butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press the dough into the dish and trim any excess from the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork and refrigerate for another 10 minutes.

Step 5

In a large bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, heavy cream, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the dill, lemon zest, scallions, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

Step 6

Add the cooked shrimp to the cream mixture and stir to combine.

Step 7

Pour the shrimp and cream mixture into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs evenly over the top for a crispy finish.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Let the pie cool slightly for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired.
