A SHRIMP PIE from 1823 💀|Is It Good?| Real Historic Recipes

Have you ever tried a shrimp pie? Me either. Let's make one from an 1823 recipe (or receipts as they used to be called) from American Domestic Cookery and see if it's edible! Hold my hand? I'm nervous.

Hahahaha MishMish was excited to see you at least

[@AngeleyesLinda777]

Lol ewww, stinky.

I was thinking, yep, better watch the lady with the crock in the woods and the black cat. 😊

I tried doing a dutch oven bake during a camping trip last year. I discovered I don't like the ashes I kept spilling into the pot. Shows how talented she is.

[@missyjo2475]

Can't you just, brush them off before opening the lid, though?

[@robmillette3371]

Scout pepper, ashes from the Dutch oven lid. Just have to be careful removing it.

[@chrismcelligott5462]

Would never have guessed there be a receipt for shrimp pie but, that's why I watch this channel! How sweet is MishMish to welcome you home. 😊

I can honestly say that shellfish and cloves is a combination which never occurred to me.

[@EarlyAmerican]

Same! I thought it wouldn't work.

I'm not feeling the cloves either. Ummm...not sure what the ancestors were thinking when they came up with that one.

@@miriambertram2448 в россии тоже яркий рецепт свеклы - это приготовить её со сметаной (считайте, что это тот же жирный йогурт), тёртым чесноком, и солью. И это вкусно, хотя, наверное, в россии это воспитано вкусом салата «селёдка под шубой».

[@nekonoai]

perhaps the strength of the clove could cover up the non-freshness of shrimp, if they were non-fresh?

[@chloerocks121]

These videos are my happy place!! They take my anxiety from a 10out of 10 to probably a 1out of 10. So I thank you an incredible amount :)

[@daughterofchrist1775]

On a side note, When Justine was mashing the shrimp paste with her hands, I couldn't help but notice how delicate and beautiful her hands were. Very nice skin! Your skin care regime is marvelously working.

Ohhhh don't know how Ron is going to like this one 🤣 but I see Mish Mish was eagerly waiting for ya. Shrimp is the only seafood I like and still pretty picky on how it is prepared lol Hope you're feeling better Justine.

[@jenniferdemassimo3012]

I thought it would be good.Buttery shrimp with a flaky crust.Yum.😋

[@blackprix]

This is probably the easiest recipe I’ve seen you make. As a lover of shrimp I might have to try this, thank you again

[@andyg.3431]

I enjoy your videos. Thanks

[@tremorsfan]

Luckily it's still winter so that should help.

[@RylELight]

Quiet honestly amazing how picture perfect that crust and filling look. That's why I wasn't as surprised when you said it was delicious and I was expecting a bad review. You are one miracle worker with those receipts, my dear. Bravo! 👍🙏

[@miriambertram2448]

So, I just bought an entire smoked whitefish today. Looked up soup stock with it. The recipe said put the boiled bones etc outside because it will permeate your house walls. Then I saw the pic of our gal holding her nose, just a few hours later. 😂

[@kyrawaldron7381]

Love your videos! Something I’ve always wondered about is how you regulate the temperature of your oven situation with the coals? For example you say “cook at 350 degrees”.. Sorry if it’s obvious lol

[@EarlyAmerican]

It comes from experience that's all I can say. You can tell roughly how hot an oven is based off of how many coals are on the oven. I can't get it 100% but within 50 degrees or so usually.

[@kyrawaldron7381]

[@davidfranolich1191]

i never heard of shrimp pie looks good

[@cedarwaxwing3509]

Was preserving shrimp in brine really a thing? Missouri is a long way from any coast and given travel times and lack of reliable refrigeration in the 1820s, I can’t imagine any way of keeping them edible unless there was some sort of pickling process in use.

[@janicem9225]

I don't know...they don't look so fresh to me, even being preserved in brine. Hope you have some good stomach remedies in one your books, Justine, because you might need them. 🤔

[@juliethompson5301]

Better watch the puddytat with that one 😂🤣

[@lindareinking5326]

I think Mish Mish is going to like this better than Ron! I personally love shrimp. Enjoy watching you make it!

[@oceansoflorewi]

Not sure why it's so surprising this is delicious- its basically popcorn/ breaded shrimp but in a pie. How much sugar you think is in the breaded modern day shrimps?

[@becomingsophiesceliaclife]

I'm very allergic to all shellfish (and most fish in general unfortunately) but I love watching you cook no matter what the receipts are, it calms my anxiety so much! I also have celiac disease so I can't eat gluten either but your pie crusts always make me wish I could eat what you made, they look so yummy.

[@adelem432]

Peels and all on the shrimp?!!

[@cindyobrien9270]

No, they were peeled already

[@tinawinslow9175]

As a New Englander I approve of this video 😂 I mean anytime you mix shrimp and enough butter you’re going to have a good time 🎉 love the funny beast comments in the beginning! Good reminder that geography played a big role in diet back in the day. As I said my family is from New England so we have a very different base of recipes because of that. Glad to see you trying new things! ❤ keep up the great work!

[@pamp5797]

First thing I would have done is wash them. Also I can't imagine making mush out of shrimp. Some of those old recipes are strange.

[@JohnnyK60]

I could see that though as it makes more of a pie filling consistency than just a bunch of diced shrimp.

[@joanna400]

I think because whole shrimp can get overcooked and rubbery baked long in a pie.

[@milliealger3539]

Awww Justieen it will be delicious as everything you cook

[@donnagagne3813]

Going to have to try this. My mother use to use the leftover pie dough to make us kids cinnamon rolls.

I had bad shrimp once, was a very bad week , if they didn't smell good , l am sure you had salt pork around. Good luck , l hope you enjoyed it.

[@finolaomurchu8217]

I enjoyed the preparation of that. Something that looks so stinky would not appeal to me. A waste of a good pie there🤣 My two sons love the chowder. And have eaten oysters. Periwinkles and molluscs in sauce are sometimes eaten here in Ireland. And smoked salmon and brown bread. The recipes are excellent thank you☘️🇮🇪

Great dish if you like shrimp prepared this way but not me because the only way I'll eat my shrimp is tempura style....... So did Mish Mish get some shrimp?

Surprising end to what started as questionable "shrimp" traded for eggs. And, mace and cloves? Very unusual spices for shellfish. Great video.

My mother talked about cooking things in a dutch oven in the fireplace. It's amazing that you can cook like this, with just coals.

My favorite part is when you were plating that slice, I could hear purring in the background. LOL!!

Interesting. It doesn't look very appetizing. (The crust looks fabulous though!) I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think I would have added a few extra ingredients.

Can't go wrong with brined shrimp, brining is an awesome process for every meat! I use it all the time in my cooking for every meat dish. It's just not the same without it.

[@Greeneye623]

Brave girl to taste it after thinking the shrimp were stinky! 🤣 I’m glad it came out good. Love your videos! 😁

[@brat46]

I watched the other video first lol. You can subsitute shrimp for crayfish; salmon; lobster; crab; etc. You can add veggie or even cheese. Hubby grew up in Maine and he has made quite a few of these in the past 20+ yrs. I let him do all the seafood cooking as I rarely had seafood as a kid and that was an everyday staple for him.

[@miriambertram2448]

I always think of shrimp as 'sea food', what have you harvested?

You walking through the Winter forest with a black cat coming to meet you, was truly a vision to me. I'm assuming I'm the only 'gothic' witchy Jewish person who watches you, but that was what I needed. Also, shrimp is my favourite meat and this looks pretty good. I'd definitely need some garlic in it tho. Never had it brined, but that's what my mini African frogs would eat.

In the Philippines, we call that bagoong. It's an acquired taste, but once you acquire it, you'll love it. It tastes great with mangoes, (either ripe or very unripe sour mangoes) with fried fish and a side of white rice.
