CRAB & SHRIMP QUICHE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl. Start with one egg and add another if needed, to make the rice stick together.

• 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.
