Directions
Crook’s Corner Shrimp and Grits, Crook’s Corner is a restaurant in Chapel Hill, NC. This is a dish served at the restaurant and I found the recipe in the latest Southern Living magazine. I made this last night for dinner and my husband and I went nuts for it, it’s the ultimate comfort food. Don’t let the long list of ingredients throw you off, this goes together quickly and easily., How to keep the grits from getting hard b4 they can be served?, Ate this Chef Bill Smith version a few times at Crooks Corner in Chapel Hill many years ago. Have been fixing at home for many more, with same result every time – delicious. One of many great eastern NC comfort foods.
