- 1 lb (450g) fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Remove from heat and let shrimp mixture cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, sour cream or Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions.
- Gently fold the cooked shrimp mixture into the creamy filling until evenly distributed.
- If using a homemade pie crust, pre-bake it for 8-10 minutes.

- Bake for 25-30 minutes until filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Allow pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option or use different cheeses like Swiss for extra flavor. Prepare ahead by assembling the pie and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best texture. For soggy crust troubles, pre-bake the crust and avoid overfilling. If the filling seems too runny, add an extra tablespoon of cheese or a teaspoon of flour to thicken before baking.
