Expert Tips

Pimientos are red peppers that grow very much like the more common green bell pepper. These versatile peppers are of the sweet (versus hot) variety. They are commonly sold in jars, stuffed in olives and dried and ground to make paprika.

Instead of the frozen crabmeat or shrimp, use either a 6-ounce can of crabmeat, drained and cartilage removed, a 4-ounce can of shrimp, well rinsed and drained, or a 6-ounce can of tuna, drained.

Make it Impossibly Easy Tuna Pie when you use a 6-ounce can of tuna, drained, instead of the crabmeat.

If you keep canned crabmeat or shrimp on hand, go ahead and use it in this easy dinner pie.

This was a really great idea. I made a few changes, though, which suited it more to my tastes. I added a can of crab meat to the recipe and used the shrimp instead of the lump crab meat. Also, instead of nutmeg (only because I'm really not a fan of nutmeg), I added Old Bay Seasoning. Very tasty, and quick! A little rich with the cream cheese, but I liked it!

Although my husband typically doesn't like quiche-like or frittata-like dishes, he LOVED the impossible seafood pie. I used what I had - chopped fresh red bell pepper instead of pimientos (much more flavor), added a tsp.+ of crushed garlic, used "garden vegetable" cream cheese, used extra green onions. (A little chopped celery would be a good addition too.) I added some Mrs. Dash seasoning did use nutmeg and was able to taste it in the final product and liked it a lot. At the fish counter, I bought 3 oz. of the small shrimp and 4 oz. of imitation crab. I wouldn't usually use the artificial crab, but they were out of fresh and frozen. It worked out fine, blending well with the other flavors and textures. I found that layering the ingredients into the pie pan was easier than trying to "mix" them, then poured the liquid over. Not only was it delicious - and not at all bland - it was also very colorful. While this was cooking in the oven, I prepared the ingredients for the Quick Fruit Cobbler using cherry pie filling and added fresh cut peaches, cooking it while we ate our seafood pie. Also a big winner! In the 1960's, Mom often made Bisquick "impossible pies" which we loved, but I haven't prepared one in 30 years and last night I made two!

I made this last night and it was outstanding! I did make a few changes. I used red, green and yellow bell peppers instead of the pimientos. I also added creole seasoning and garlic salt and left out the nutmeg. Combined the shrimp and the crab meat. It was AWESOME! I have already shared the receipe with family members and I know that we will be making it again at my house!
