Serves: 8
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 45-60 minutes

Pumpkin Filling:

1 ½ pumpkin puree
1 ½ cups evaporated milk
1 cup brown sugar, packed
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ginger

Pie Crust:

¼ cup vegetable shortening
¼ cup homemade unsalted butter, chilled
1 ½ cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup ice cold water

Directions:

Finding spots where snook like to hide is key to catching them, and in this episode we slide in next to an gnarly edge of mangroves and make precise drifts with our baits to pull fish from the cover.
