Expert Tips

Mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese can be used in place of the Swiss Cheese.
To mend cracks in the pie crust, wet fingers with cold water and press edges together. Repairing cracks before baking will reduce the chance of the crust cracking again while baking.
When using thawed frozen shrimp, pat them dry with paper towel.
