Apply thinset to low spots and ride off high spots with a straightedge to even the floor. A shower floor is not something you want to do over a hard mud surface. The preferred method is to pull your mud and lay your tile fresh, allowing you to use a beating block (4x6 inch is more than enough) using the block and riding at an angle to the tile beat the floor flat.
The biggest mistake pre-floating the mud is that the drain can be an issue if you cut your mud too high in relation. I should note that over fresh screed you want your thinset very wet as too stiff will pull up patches of mud if you pull a tile. If you do have to pull a tile when fresh, slide it while using a lifting motion.
You will likely need to chisel it out:
