Note

For a Ham Quiche variation, substitute the shrimp with 1/2 cup of chopped cooked ham or 8-9 oz of deviled ham. Replace the Monterey Jack cheese with 2 cups of Swiss cheese for a different flavor profile.

Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing to help the custard set properly.

Ensure shrimp are drained well if canned to prevent the custard from becoming too watery.
