In Quebec, a fricassée is a rustic, comforting dish that evolved from French culinary traditions. Historically, "fricassée" originates from France and refers to a dish where meat (often poultry or veal) is sautéed and then stewed in a white or light sauce. However, in Quebec cuisine, the term took on a more practical and resourceful meaning.
"Quebec Sugar Pie has as many versions as cooks, but tradition demands that the filling be somewhat thin in consistency and, because of its richness, that the depth of the filling be much less than for pies in general." - Laura Secord Canadian Cookbook
This quote perfectly encapsulates how I've experienced sugar pie my entire life. These pies are a staple at every family gathering during the winter, especially during the holidays and Sugaring-Off season (maple syrup making season). For the longest time, I let my aunts handle the sugar pie making, but now it's our turn to carry on these beloved family traditions.

I have worked hard to find a balance when making this recipe, it can be so delicious or so blah. I like the latter, it has to be delicious, shrimp are not a cheap ingredient, I hate not bringing the best out of an ingredient, I feel I am cheating it out of its glory.
