Instructions
Cut bacon into one inch pieces. Fry on medium heat until crispy. Remove with slotted spoon, drain on paper towel.
Sprinkle shrimp with butt rub. You could also make a rub with paprika, cayenne to your liking. Or use a spicy rub of your choice.
Fry shrimp in bacon grease about a minute on each side. Drain on paper towels.
Prepare quiche pan with either this tart crust(see below for gluten free option) or tortillas.
I cut the tortillas and overlapped to fit the quiche pan. Spray with non-stick spray first or grease pan with butter and flour to prevent sticking.
Beat eggs and incorporate cream and salt and pepper.
Add cheese to egg mixture.
Place quiche pan onto a baking sheet. Wrap bottom and sides tightly with foil.
Place tart crust onto pan. Or place tortillas in pan. You may need to cut and overlap a little, which is fine.
Pour egg mixture into pan.
Add shrimp, bacon, tomatoes.
Spoon pistou into the egg mixture, randomly.
Pistou
handfuls of fresh basil with stems removed
/3 cup olive oil
garlic clove, minced
salt, pepper
Using either mortar and pestle or mini food process, mix into a basil paste to the consistency of a pesto you will be able to spoon into the quiche mixture.
