      About the Recipe

      Share

      Shrimp Quiche or Quiche aux Fruits de Mer in French is absolutely incredible when served hot – the taste goes through the roof! This quiche is perfect for entrée and tastes best when served with a delicious cream mushroom soup.

      The steps of making the pastry is the same as in other quiche recipes, so once you master them, you will be able to make any quiche that you want.

      What Is a Quiche?

      A quiche is a French tart or pie that is straight-sided and open-faced. It is a mixture of either cream and bacon, cheese and milk, tomatoes and onions, prawns, crabs or anything else combined with eggs, poured into a pastry shell and baked in an oven until it puffs and browns.

      But we are focusing on shrimp this time.

      Can I Use Other Seafood?

      Yes, you could absolutely use mussels, calamari, crab, oysters, your favorite seafood mix, you name it… The quiche will still be delicious!

      Steps

      1
      Done
      5 min

      Start with Pastry

      Place flour, salt, sugar and butter in a big mixing bowl. Rub the flour and the butter together rapidly between the tips of your fingers.

      Done
      1 h

      Make Dough

      Add water and gather dough into the mass. Press the dough firmly into a roughly shaped ball. After that, place the dough into a fridge for about 1 hour until the dough is firm.

      Note: the dough can stay ready to be used for several weeks. Its quality shouldn't change if it stays in a deep-frozen section of your fridge.

      3
      Done
      3 min

      Prepare Pastry Shell

      Take the dough out of the fridge. Shape it into a shell.

      4
      Done
      5-7 min

      Bake Pastry Shell

      Preheat an oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pastry shell to a half-ready state for around 5-7 minutes (depends on the oven).

      5
      Done
      4 min

      Cook Shallots and Shrimp

      Cook shallots in the butter for 1-2 minutes over the moderate heat until they have become tender. Also, add shrimp and stir gently for another 2 minutes. Put out the ready shrimp and shallots on a plate.

      6
      Done
      2 min

      7
      Done

      Add mixture to shell

      Meanwhile, pour the cream mixture along with shrimp into the pastry shell.

      8
      Done
      25-30 min

      Bake Quiche

      Place the quiche into the preheated oven and bake it for 15 minutes. The quiche will become puffed and browned. Then reduce the temperature to 300°F (150°C) for another 10-15 minutes.

      9
      Done

      Serve

      When you see that the top has browned, your shrimp quiche is ready. Enjoy!
