- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- In a pot, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the celery, carrots, leeks and garlic.
- Saute until softened but not brownedabout 5-7 minutes.
- Add the red chili flakes, thyme sprigs and potatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour in the wine.
- Continue simmering until the wine has reduced and nearly evaporated.
- While the wine cooks, sprinkle the cayenne pepper over the shrimp and toss until evenly coated.
- Set shrimp aside.
- Next, whisk the flour and seafood stock together in a bowl.
- When the wine has evaporated, pour in the flour/stock mixture and stir while the liquids come to a soft boil.

- Pour in the cream and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture has thickened to the desired consistency.

- Stir in the shrimp, kosher salt and black pepper (or more of each to taste), frozen peas and fresh parsley.
- Ladle the filling into a casserole dish or other types of individual ramekins/ovenproof dishes.
- I used four 5-ounce ramekins and one 5x5 casserole dish.
- Brush the outside edges of the dishes/ramekins with the beaten egg.
- Trim the puff pastry sheets about 1/2 inch larger than the tops of each of the dishes/ramekins.
- Cover each dish/ramekin with the puff pastry and press around the edges to seal.
- Brush the tops of each of the pies with the beaten egg and use a sharp knife to make small slits on top.
- Place the pie/pies on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and transfer to the preheated oven.
- Bake the pie/pies for 30-40 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown.
