Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
Press one half of the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges and crimp as desired.
- 3
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 4
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 5
Stir in the cooked mixed seafood, pumpkin puree, heavy cream, chicken broth, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper.
- 6
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and sauce to thicken slightly.
- 7
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley. Pour the seafood and pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- 8
If using a double crust, place the second pie crust over the filling, crimp edges, and cut several slits in the top for steam to escape. If not, bake single-crust now.
- 9
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
