Prepare the dough by mixing flour, salt, and butter until crumbly.

Add water gradually and knead until smooth; cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Sauté onion, garlic, and bell pepper in oil until soft.

Add shrimp, thyme, cayenne, and lime juice; cook until shrimp is pink, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut circles from the dough using a cutter or glass.

Place a spoonful of shrimp filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape; seal edges by pressing with a fork.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the pies in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.
