This Crab Shrimp Quiche is Gluten Free! I use leftover rice for the crust, so it is fast and easy to make for any busy weeknight dinner or even a fancy brunch!

Instructions
For Crust
- Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl. Start with one egg and add another if needed, to make the rice stick together.
- Coat a 9" pie plate with no stick spray. Press rice mixture down all along the bottom and the sides of the pie plate. Set aside.
- Heat the oven to 350°F.
For the Filling
- 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.
- Roughly chop the shrimp and spinach. Drain the crab meat. (Or thaw and chop whole, frozen legs.)
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Add the spinach and the spices and mix together. Finally add cheese and combine.
- Pour egg mixture over rice 'crust'. Don't overfill. If you end up with too much filling, place it in a greased, oven proof dish and bake for about 15-20 minutes.

Notes
- Rice "crust" can be par baked before filling. Bake crust for 15 minutes at 350°F.
