→ Filling Ingredients

01 - 1 lb mixed seafood (shrimp, crab, crawfish)
02 - 1 cup diced onions
03 - 1/2 cup diced celery
04 - 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
05 - 2 cloves minced garlic
06 - 1/4 cup butter
07 - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
08 - 1 cup seafood stock
09 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
10 - 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning

→ Crust

11 - 1 package pie crust (2 crusts)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
02 - Sauté onions, celery, and bell peppers in butter in a large skillet until softened. Add garlic and stir for 1 minute.
03 - Add flour to the sautéed vegetables to create a roux. Gradually whisk in seafood stock and heavy cream until smooth, bringing to a gentle simmer.
04 - Add Cajun seasoning and mixed seafood to the skillet. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
05 - Line a 9-inch pie dish with one crust. Pour the seafood filling into the dish, then cover with the second crust. Seal the edges and cut small vents into the top crust for steam to escape.
06 - Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
07 - Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

# Notes:

01 - For a deeper flavor, use homemade Cajun seasoning with paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, and oregano.
