  1. This definitely deserves 5 stars. It's delicious! I used cooked, frozen shrimp instead of canned and increased the quantity a bit. The cheese was a good quality Swiss, not processed and the sweet onion option. I've never used refrigerator pie crust before and was very pleased with it. Made for Jammin' Java Jivers ZWT5.
     
  2. I used some leftover grilled shrimp and an Italian blend of cheeses and was very pleased with the result. I wasn't sure how much creole seasoning to add and just used 1/2 tsp. I don't think that was enough so would add more next time.
     
  3. This Quiche is pretty good, but the Creole seasoning is a problem. One reviewer said two teaspoons was not enough, so I tried a tablespoon. Most of those are heavy on salt so my first attempt was very salty. Next time I will use a small amount of salt and substitute some cayenne pepper for the heat in place of the Creole seasoning. I will update this then, but, in the interim, take care with the Creole.
