Quick Shrimp Quiche

Not So Good Cook's Note:

This recipe came from "The Can Opener Gourmet" by Laura Karr. I've made it with shrimp or crabmeat & both are delicious. There are a number of easy recipes in this book that my kids really enjoyed for dinner! You may have to cover the edges of the piecrust.

This was a great recipe to use up some stuff from around my kitchen. I used about 2 cups of frozen cooked shrimp for the canned shrimp and 4 eggs (to use up the carton taking up room in the fridge). I was really glad to get that frozen pie shell out of my freezer! I served it with a green salad full of veggies from my garden. It was a great meal! Thanks NSGC :)

Quick, easy, and delicious! I microcooked 4 oz frozen shrimp and broke them apart before adding them to the quiche. I also used hoisin sauce, paremsan cheese, and skim milk in place of the Worcestershire sauce, Swiss, and whole milk, respectively, because it is what I had on hand. I liek the sharp taste of Swiss cheese, though, and plan to try the recipe again with Swiss. I used the quick shell recipe at this site for an easy crust.

This recipe was very good any my hubby loved it. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars was because it had a bit of a fishy smell/taste due to the canned shrimp. Next time, I'm either going to try fresh or the new pouch containers. Thanks for a wonderful recipe! I'm looking forward to making it again.
