Creole Shrimp and Pepper Jack Tart
We can’t get too far into Mardi Gras Month without having a spicy recipe. Next up is this Creole Shrimp and Pepper Jack Tart which is definitely on the spicy side.
Since I can’t get crawfish where I live (huge, huge bummer), I seek out a lot of shrimp recipes comes Mardi Gras. I’ve posted a Cajun Shrimp Dip and a Spicy Creole Shrimp Dip, which are some of the most popular recipes from this site.
Even when this tart is unbaked, it is not runny or messy, which is a plus. I had no leaks or spills when baking. Just take care not to tear your pie crust. You can pleat the edges of the dough any way you like.
Pepper Jack cheese and Creole seasoning make things deliciously spicy. As a bonus, using a premade dough makes things easy and quick. Enjoy!

I'm so happy to see you're still blogging – I stopped by to get my favorite carrot cake recipe 🙂 – come chat with me! It's been so long!! <3
Great to see you stop by 🙂 Do you have an updated email I can reach you at?
Oh my, this looks absolutely scrumptious! I know my husband and I would love this!
Ingredient list does not mention pepper sauce. Directions state to combine everything except pepper sauce and pie crust. Pepper sauce is not mentioned again. Is there pepper sauce in this recipe, and if so, how much and when to add?
Thanks!
Hi Jan! Thank you for letting me know. Hot sauce (red pepper sauce) is an optional ingredient that I left out when I made this, but mistakenly had the ingredient still listed in the directions. It is optional so if you want it spicier you can add it. No specific amount was given from Pillsbury. I will fix the recipe now.
