Introduction
Florida’s sun-drenched coastlines are known not just for their breathtaking beauty, but also for the bounty of fresh seafood harvested from their waters. Among these delicacies, shrimp reigns supreme. Sweet, tender, and versatile, Florida shrimp forms the foundation of countless regional dishes. But one lesser-known treasure is the Florida Shrimp Pie—a savory, creamy pie filled with seasoned shrimp, herbs, cheese, and a flaky, golden crust.
This recipe marries the tradition of Southern comfort food with the vibrant zest of coastal Florida cuisine. It’s ideal for family dinners, potlucks, brunches, or whenever you want to showcase shrimp in an unexpected and satisfying way. If you’re familiar with quiche or savory seafood casseroles, this dish sits comfortably in that neighborhood—elevated by fresh shrimp, a hint of citrus, and warm spice.
