1 pie crust

Pie crust to fit a 10 inch flan pan or round casserole with straight sides.

FILLING:

4 eggs
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. light cream
1/2 clove garlic, crushed
1 c. Cheddar cheese, grated
3 green onions, chopped
2 green chilies, seeded and chopped
8 oz. cooked and peeled shrimp
Salt to taste
Cooked shrimp and parsley sprigs for garnish

Carefully press the pastry onto the bottom and up the sides of the dish, taking care not to stretch it. Trim the top edge with a sharp knife to give an even finish.

Mix the eggs, milk, cream and garlic together. Sprinkle cheese, onion, chilies and shrimp onto the base of the pastry and pour the egg mixture over that. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 30-40 minutes until firm and golden brown. Garnish with additional shrimp and parsley.

For variation you may add red and green peppers and coriander leaves (cilantro) to the filling before baking.

Serving ideas: Serve as a started, cut in thin wedges or baked in individual dishes. Serve hot or cold with a salad for a light meal.
