- 
Shrimp Size: Medium (41/50 count) shrimp work perfectly in this recipe. If using frozen shrimp, ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry.
 - 
Cheese Choice: The sharp Cheddar provides a wonderful tang, but you can use a mild Cheddar or even a Monterey Jack for a milder flavor.
 - 
Don’t Overbake: The pie is done when the center no longer jiggles when you gently shake the pan. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
 - 
Make it Your Own: Feel free to add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of Old Bay seasoning to the custard for an extra kick!
