Ingredients

• 100 grams Shrimp crackers
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 units Large eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 200 grams Cooked shrimp
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 units Green onions (sliced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the shrimp crackers in a resealable bag and crush thoroughly with a rolling pin until they have the texture of breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and combine it with the crushed shrimp crackers in a mixing bowl.

Step 4

Press the shrimp cracker mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well blended.

Step 7

Evenly scatter the cooked shrimp, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions over the baked crust.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the shrimp, cheese, and onions, ensuring it spreads evenly over the filling.

Step 9

Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.

Step 10

Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
