This Shrimp Quiche or Quiche aux Fruits de Mer in French is incredible when served hot – the taste goes through the roof!
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.
This Shrimp Quiche recipe is so good that you will be happy to share it with your family and friends!
Shrimp Quiche knows no bounds when it comes to seasons. Its versatility allows it to make year-round.
However, I recommend cooking with fresh, plump shrimp as they give an extra touch of deliciousness and juiciness to your quiche.
I recommend visiting your local farmer’s market for fresh shallots and Swiss cheese.
Your trusted seafood market will provide you with succulent shrimp, while the dairy section of your grocery store will offer cream and butter.
Dry white vermouth and tomato paste can be found in the liquor and condiment aisles.
Yes, of course. This recipe is versatile.
You can swap shallots for onions, butter for olive oil, or Swiss cheese for Gruyère for a twist on tradition.
If you are a vegetarian you can substitute shrimp with mushrooms or spinach for a delightful variation.
You could use mussels, calamari, crab, oysters, your favorite seafood mix, you name it… The quiche will still be delicious!
Absolutely! Shrimp Quiche is an elegant centerpiece for brunch gatherings, luncheons, or intimate dinners.
For an appetizer, serve my delicious Shrimp in Garlic Sauce, Spicy Salmon Tartare, or Tuna Carpaccio.
You can pair it with Cucumber Red Onion Salad or Mediterranean Tomato Salad for a complete meal.
For dessert, go with my Chocolate Raspberry Tart, Kiwi Pavlova, or Raspberry Pavlova.
The delicate flavors of Shrimp Quiche harmonize beautifully with a variety of beverages.
For a classic touch, serve it with a chilled glass of dry white wine, such as Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.
For non-alcoholic options, consider sparkling water infused with citrus or herbal teas for a refreshing palate cleanse.
Though Shrimp Quiche is best enjoyed fresh from the oven, leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Reheat slices in the oven or microwave for a quick and satisfying meal.
Just be sure to cover it tightly to maintain its moisture and flavor.
