Ez Shrimp Pie

A fast and easy recipe when you don't want to take the time to make homemade pie crust. You may use fresh or frozen shrimp, but parboil frozen shrimp before assembling. Pie may be made ahead and refrigerated until needed, then reheated. (9/15/07 Note: This recipe is over 20 years old and was made when my kids were little. Now I'd be more adventurous and use perhaps pepper jack shredded cheese or green chiles, or other add-ins,but this recipe pleased my family at the time. Of course, pinch the crescent rolls together when you put them in the pan, so they won't separate. Have fun experimenting with this easy and versatile dish.)
