Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. Cut the pastry into 4 squares and use to line 4 x 10cm round x 2cm deep fluted tart tins. Trim the excess pastry and prick the bases with a fork. Line each with baking paper and fill with baking beans or rice. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan and gently cook the spring onions and chilli for 2-3 minutes. Add the prawns and cook for 2 minutes, until pink. Remove from the heat and stir in the crab and some seasoning.
- Mix together the cream, egg yolks, coriander and lime zest in a jug.
- Remove the paper and beans from the pastry cases. Spoon in the crab mixture, then pour in the egg mixture. Bake for a further 15 minutes, until set but still with a slight wobble. Stand for 10 minutes before serving.
