If you are a fan of low country cooking you really need to own a copy of Charleston Receipts. This is absolutely the Bible of low country cooking. Easy to order at jlcharleston.org or call 843-763-5284. I love this because you have to make it a day ahead.
This can be served as an appetizer with cocktails or on lettuce leaves as a plated first course.

ReplyDeleteWell, what do you know. Looks like the problem might be IE, as my ID shows up when I use Firefox. Computers drive me crazy. This recipe looks wonderful, especially for the terribly hot day we are having.
