Peel and finely chop the garlic, but do not press it. Trim, wash, and slice the leek. Add the butter to a pan and fry the leek and garlic for 2 minutes. Then add the dill, lemon juice, and shrimp. Mix the crème fraîche with the eggs, salt, and pepper, and fold in. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Roll out the puff pastry and line any dish you like, leaving a 3cm-high edge. Once the pastry is properly shaped, pour in the shrimp and leek mixture. Bake the tart in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 35-40 minutes.
