Love this recipe so much! So simple yet so delicious. I just made it again for the first time since last summer. And even though I forgot to add the olive oil (LOL) everyone loved it.

Delicious! I enjoyed this at Crook's Corner's tonight. Perfect night to dine al fresco, and and Bill Smith even had his legendary honeysuckle sorbet on the menu.

I would make anything from Crook's Corner - the best shrimp & grits and Hoppin" John I ever had in my life!
And a mean, clean special cocktail menu as well!
