Louisiana Citrus Icebox Tart

A crisp, buttery shortbread crust cradles a silky lemon custard studded with tender pieces of fresh kumquat, offering bright, sweet-tart bursts in every bite. A single candied kumquat slice crowns the tart, adding a jewel-like finish and subtle floral bitterness from the peel. Cool, vibrant, and lightly sweet, this tart is a refreshing, elegant finish — the perfect counterpoint to the rich, savory depth of Shrimp Étouffée.
