Ingredients
  

Pie Crust
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (two crusts)
Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup fresh corn (can use frozen if needed)
  • 1 cup chopped bell pepper (red or green)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Cream Sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or a Halal dairy substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  3. Incorporate the fresh shrimp into the pan. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the shrimp turns opaque.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the heavy cream with flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir this mixture into the skillet with the shrimp and vegetables. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes until thickened.
  5. Roll out one pie crust and place it in a pie dish. Pour the shrimp mixture into the crust. Cover it with the second pie crust, sealing the edges. Cut slits in the top crust for steam to escape.
Baking
  1. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  2. Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing.
