Cheese pie with shrimps
8 servings
50 minutes
Shrimp cheese pie is a refined dish of Italian cuisine that combines the tenderness of creamy dough with the exquisite taste of shrimp and the spiciness of aromatic cheese. Its roots trace back to Italy's traditional coastal regions where fresh seafood forms the basis of gastronomic masterpieces. The creamy dough creates a crispy yet tender base that pairs wonderfully with juicy shrimp, dill, and zesty lemon pepper. Baked to a golden crust, the pie emits a delightful aroma, and its velvety texture and harmony of flavors make it an ideal dish for festive dinners and cozy family gatherings. It can be served warm or chilled, complemented by herbs and a glass of white wine for complete enjoyment.
