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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the frozen pie crust on a baking sheet for stability.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture over the shrimp and cheese, ensuring it fills the pie crust evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and if desired, dust with a touch of paprika for color.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your quick shrimp quiche!
