Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 6–8 tablespoons ice water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2–3 tablespoons hot sauce (such as Frank’s or Cholula)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Make the Pie Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1/2 cup cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 6-8 tablespoons ice water, stirring just until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Fried Shrimp: Pat shrimp dry. Toss with 1/2 cup buttermilk and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, mix 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 tablespoon Old Bay, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F. Dredge shrimp in flour mixture, pressing to coat, then fry in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, stir together 4 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, green onions, lemon zest, and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning. Gently fold in fried shrimp.
  4. Roll Out the Crust & Assemble: Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out chilled crust to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press in, trim edges, and poke bottom with a fork. Spoon in shrimp-cheese filling and spread evenly. Sprinkle extra mozzarella on top if desired.
  5. Bake the Pie: Brush crust edges with beaten egg. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until crust is golden and filling is bubbling. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  6. Make the Hot Honey Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine honey, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, apple cider vinegar, and butter. Warm gently over low heat, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened (about 2 minutes). Do not boil.
  7. Finish & Serve: Let pie cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle generously with hot honey glaze just before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

Double dredge shrimp for extra crunch. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for best results. Chill dough for a flakier crust. Drizzle hot honey glaze just before serving to keep crust crispy. For gluten-free or dairy-free adaptations, see ingredient swaps. Let pie rest before slicing for clean cuts.
