Shrimp Pot Pie

To celebrate my 100th post, lets make something sexy & elegant!

For this dish I utilized leftover shrimp scampi but you can use clean, raw shrimp with their tails removed.

What You Will Need: Shrimp, potatoes (peeled and diced), white wine, carrots, celery, onion, parsley, bell pepper, frozen peas, four, half & half, fillo dough and butter.

Preheat your oven according to the Fillo dough directions.

Heat some olive oil in a large skillet and sauté your diced potatoes. 

Carrots, celery, onion & peppers join the potatoes. Season and sauté for 3-5 minutes.

Melt in a couple pats of butter.

Sprinkle with flour & allow enough time to cook out all the rawness.

White wine to deglaze. Give 1-2 minutes for the alcohol to bubble & cook out.

Half/half goes in next.

Stir and bring to a boil to thicken.

Add in your shrimp.

Peas Please!

Finish with chopped parsley.

Optional addition is a couple dashes of hot sauce.

Place the shrimp filling into an oven safe dishes. Use a baking sheet to make sure nothing boils over into your oven.

Roll out your Fillo dough. Be careful for it is delicate. 

Lay out a large sheet with multiple layers & use a bowl large enough for your top to guide.

Cut around your bowl.

Melt some butter.

Using two sheets of cut dough at time, lay over top the dish & brush with melted butter. Repeat 3 more times.

If you would like, give a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before popping it into the oven.

Bake just until the crust is golden brown!

Be carful because your dish will be extremely hot.

Your crust will be flaky & buttery while your filling is rich & creamy! 

Serve with a glass of champagne & celebrate a birthday, anniversary, valentines day or just a special at home date night! No matter what the occasion, you are sure to please with this dish!

Enjoy & Always Celebrate with Love!
