# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 -
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently to fit the dish. Set aside.
03 -
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter or oil. Add chopped onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
04 -
Add shrimp to the skillet, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
05 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth.
06 -
Stir in the sautéed vegetables, cooked shrimp, and shredded cheddar cheese into the mixture. Combine thoroughly.
07 -
Pour the shrimp and mixture into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
08 -
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the filling is set and golden on top. If the crust edges begin to darken, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
09 -
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes, making it easier to slice and serve.
10 -
If desired, garnish each slice with fresh parsley and lemon wedges before serving.
