Crust:

1 1/4 cups fluor
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 tsp salt
4 -5 Tbs cold water

Mix salt into flour.  Blend in shortening with pastry mixer until well mixed, and it looks
like coarse cornmeal.  Add the water a tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the
dough holds together in a ball.  Roll out dough on a floured surface, put in 9" quiche or pie pan.

Filling:

3 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 pound swiss cheese, grated
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 Tbs butter
3 Tbs flour
3-4 green onions, chopped
approx. 1 pound of crab meat, scallops, shrimp, or similar.
dash of nutmeg
salt
hot sauce, such as Tabasco, Trappey's or Bruce's Louisiana style.  Or be adventurous
and try one of the many habanero based sauces.

Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Place unfilled crust in oven for about 10 - 12 minutes, not quite long
enough for it to start browning.  Check it a couple of times, poking down bubbles with a fork,
or use pie weights.  Remove crust from oven, place on cooling rack.  Sprinkle about half the
grated swiss on the bottom of the crust.  Turn oven down to 350.

Melt  butter in a skillet over medium heat.  If using raw shrimp or scallops, rinse them, drain well,
and saute in the butter for 3 - 4 minutes.  Add the green onions, saute another 3 - 4 minutes.
If using cooked crab or lobster, saute onions for 3 - 4 minutes, then add seafood, stir for 20 - 30
seconds.  Stir in the flour, mixing well.  Scrape mixture into pie shell over cheese.

Beat eggs and cream together.  Blend in a dash of salt, nutmeg and a few splashes of hot sauce
to taste.  Pour over seafood mixture in pie shell.  You may have some leftover, you can pour it
into a small ovenproof dish and bake on the side.  Top quiche with remaining swiss cheese.

Bake quiche at 350 ( you did turn down the oven, right?) for about 25 minutes.  Sprinkle grated
parmesan over top, continue baking for 10 -15 minutes, until crust is brown and center of quiche
appears to be set. Place on rack and let cool, as the quiche is best when served slightly warm.

If you plan on taking this to a social event of some sort, you may want to arrange a few shrimp
on the top when adding the parmesan cheese.  This will serve as a warning to those who for
health or religious reasons do not partake of shellfish.
