Prawns and curry quiche (quiche de camarones y curry)

Some days ago I made this Prawns and curry quiche and i was really good, especiall the crust.

A quiche is a great stand by for lunch or supper and is always
best eaten hot or warm.
And baking the pastry "blind" first, without the filling ensures that the pastry case is cooked through so it doesn't get a soggy bottom.
