Julia Child's Shrimp or Lobster or Crab Quiche image

A delicious recipe for a shrimp quiche. It is a great quiche that isn't too eggy, I have only made it with shrimp but I can only imagine how good it is with lobster or crab. I also made this easily into mini quiches by halving the recipe. Also, the egg mixture can be made the day before and poured into the quiche shell right before baking. Also it can be served hot or cold.

This quiche was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would use less cream next time.

The quiche was too dry. I think I overcooked it. I'll try again next time and cook it for less time.

I've made this quiche several times and it always turns out great. It's a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth it for a special occasion.
