- Heat the oven to 350°F.
- Add olive oil to a small saute pan, heat over medium high heat. Saute' the shrimp just until it begins to turn pink on the first side. Flip shrimp and repeat on the second side. Don't overcook because the shrimp will continue to cook in the quiche. Remove and drain on paper towel.
- In the same pan, just barely wilt the fresh spinach. This step is eliminated, if using canned or frozen spinach.
- Roughly chop the shrimp and spinach. Drain the crab meat. (Or thaw and chop whole, frozen legs.)
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Add the spinach and the spices and mix together. Finally add cheese and combine.
- Pour egg mixture over rice 'crust'. Don't overfill. If you end up with too much filling, place it in a greased, oven proof dish and bake for about 15-20 minutes.

CRAB OR SHRIMP QUICHE
I was given this about 16 years ago from my friend who loved to cook. He was on the University Rugby Team so I guess real men do eat quiche.

JULIA CHILD'S SHRIMP OR LOBSTER OR CRAB QUICHE
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.

CRUSTLESS CRAB QUICHE
This is a lowfat, delicious quiche! I am always asked for this recipe (I serve often at brunches). Can be made ahead & baked next day, and/or frozen. Leftovers are wonderful when warmed in microwave and placed on toasted english muffin. My 2 year-old loves it too. NOTE: Do not use real crab meat; it will not come out the same.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you don't have a food processor, finely chop the shrimp and crabmeat by hand.
- Be sure to drain the shrimp and crabmeat well before adding them to the quiche filling. Otherwise, the quiche will be watery.
- Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeaten eggs will make the quiche tough.
- Bake the quiche until the center is just set. Overbaking will make the quiche dry.
- Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it to set properly.
- Serve the quiche with a side salad or soup.
