Position a cookie sheet on the center rack and preheat oven to 375°F. Remove one pie crust from packaging; let thaw at room temperature for 10 to 20 minutes.

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese using a whisk or hand mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition to combine evenly. Fold in chopped shrimp and shredded pepper Jack cheese until incorporated uniformly.

Pour filling into the pre-baked pie crust and spread evenly for uniform baking.

Place the assembled pie on the cookie sheet and bake at 375°F for 30 to 35 minutes, or until filling is set in the center and top is lightly browned.

Remove pie from oven and let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow filling to firm. Slice and serve warm.
