Ingredients

1 egg
1 tablespoon water
4 sheets puff pastry, thawed (recommended: Pepperidge Farm)
Flour, for dusting
8 large (21 to 25) shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small carrot, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
6 mushrooms, sliced thin
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
Special equipment: 3 and 4-inch metal ring

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small bowl, whisk egg and water until well blended. Lightly dust work surface with flour. Unfold puff pastry and dock dough with a fork. Using a 4-inch ring, cut 16 circles. Set 4 circles on a nonstick baking sheet. These are the base of the pot pies. Discard scraps. Using a 3-inch metal ring, cut circles in the center of the 12 remaining circles. Remove 4 of the 3-inch circles to the prepared baking sheet. These are the tops. Brush the outer edge of the 4-inch circles with the egg wash. Lay 1 of the 12 rings on top. Brush egg wash on that ring and place another ring on top. Repeat 1 more time until you have 3 rings stacked on top of each other. Repeat with remaining circles until you have 4 assembled. Brush the edges and tops with egg wash and bake in the middle of the oven until golden, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, season the shrimp with cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Saute the shrimp, 1 minute per side. Remove shrimp and set aside. Add remaining butter to the pan and saute carrots, celery, mushrooms, and thyme, until softened about 10 minutes. Add wine, bring to a simmer and cook until most of the wine has evaporated. Add the cream and bring back to a simmer until the sauce thickens to a gravy consistency, about 12 to 15 minutes. Place the shrimp back into the sauce to coat. Remove thyme and season with salt and white pepper. Ladle the shrimp mixture into the pastry puff bowls and top with the smaller puff circles.

TOP OF MY FAVORITE DISHES, YUM-TASTIC!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this when I first saw it on FoodTv a few months back. I couldn't wait to make it. Well, so much for making it for my... husband, LOL. Once I finished making the dish, I ate the first servings THEN, LOL, I took the other 3 servings to work to share with the ladies at lunch, of course I also had another serving. Well the ladies just thought they died and went straight to heaven. I had to print the recipe 5 times to had out. I'm now having company over this coming Saturday and I remembered this fantastic recipe. Can't wait to serve this to everyone. Especially my husband who has since never let me live it down for not setting aside one serving for him when I last made it. LOL. Im positive this will be a hit. And yes, to make it easier buy the puff pastry shells already made and don't be afraid to improvise by adding some peas or other veggies; and always use a wine that you like to drink! If you don't you won't like it. Laurie Read more

soooooooo good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

some people complain it takes too long...thats easily solved...just buy the puff pastry shells instead of sheets, and then... cook all your veggies together (throw in a lot more than the recipe calls for I added in kale, greenbeans, and corn...afterall, its all soaked in cream sauce you'd hardly know there were any veggies in there!), add the shrimp, then the wine, then the cream/milk and some cornstarch, the whole thing will be done in 20 mins!Read more

Gourmet
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Oh My GOSH! That was SOO GOOD!!! The thyme with the wine and cream!! And it was so simple! When my husband heard what I was... going to be making for dinner, he begged me not to - he hates pot pies, and a shrimp pot pie did not sound any better. But he liked it a lot! I omitted the mushrooms for his sake, and put in too much cayenne pepper, so it was a little too spicy. But I'll know for next time. It really did taste gourmet.Read more
