Shrimp Pastel offers a delightful blend of savory seafood and creamy sauce, encased in a flaky crust. The flavors are rich and comforting, with a hint of sweetness from the vegetables.
The dominant flavor comes from the shrimp, which is typically sauteed with garlic, onions, and bell peppers. A creamy sauce, often made with evaporated milk, all-purpose cream, or cheese, adds richness. Other common ingredients include potatoes, carrots, peas, and sometimes ham or sausage, contributing to a balanced sweet and savory profile. The buttery crust provides a satisfying textural contrast.

Shrimp Quality
Use fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor. Devein and clean the shrimp thoroughly before cooking.
Crust Perfection
Use a good quality pastry dough, or make your own, ensuring it's flaky and buttery. Blind bake the crust partially before adding the filling to prevent it from becoming soggy.
Creamy Consistency
Adjust the amount of cream or milk to achieve the desired consistency of the sauce. A thicker sauce will hold its shape better when baked.
Preventing a Soggy Bottom Crust
Before placing the filling into the crust, try sprinkling a thin layer of breadcrumbs or crushed crackers on the bottom. This will absorb excess moisture and help keep the crust crisp.
