  4. Add potatoes and green onion to cooked onion mixture, and stir gently to combine. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Continue to cook the combination for 4-5 minutes.
  5. Place 2/3 of the mixture in the bottom of your spring form pan to make a nice layer, reserve the remainder.
  6. Add a little more olive oil to the hot pan and add in the shrimp and creole seasoning. Cook shrimp until almost done. It’s important not to overcook the shrimp!
  7. Add the shrimp to the springform pan on top of the potato layer, then add the remainder of the potatoes and shredded jack cheese.
  8. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, ½ teaspoon salt. Add softened butter in small pieces and whisk well.
