Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
o In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

o Stir in the cream of celery soup, heavy cream, and dry white wine (if using).
o Season with black pepper and celery salt.
o Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the shrimp.
o Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
o Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
2. Assemble the Pie
o Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
o Line the pie dish with one of the pie crusts, pressing it firmly into the bottom and sides.
o Pour the shrimp filling into the crust-lined pie dish.
o Place the second pie crust over the filling.
o Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.
o Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
o Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
3. Bake
o Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
o Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
o Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
4. Serve
o Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
o Slice and serve warm.

• Variations: Add vegetables like peas or carrots to the filling for added texture and flavor.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain the crust's flakiness.
• Serving Suggestions: Pair with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
