Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece frozen pie crust
- 200 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 pieces eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or gruyère)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the frozen pie crust on a baking sheet for stability.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Spread the cooked shrimp and chopped green onions over the cheese.
Pour the egg mixture over the shrimp and cheese, ensuring it fills the pie crust evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and if desired, dust with a touch of paprika for color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and a knife inserted comes out clean.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your quick shrimp quiche!
