Reminiscent of the scrumptious sweet desserts that cut through the grease-coated remains of a fried shrimp-and-hushpuppies meal at a waterfront seafood restaurant down on the North Carolina coast, Atlantic Beach pie is always a winning entry in the Roediger House dessert hall of fame, with its creamy goodness and secret-surprise-ingredient crust, all in the style of the better-known Florida key lime pie...but with lemon instead of lime. Awesome enough to have two slices last Thursday night! Addendum: You can probably guess how it made my heart sing when, upon greeting my neighbor the next morning, she immediately said: "Do you have any more of that pie?"
