Crook's Corner Shrimp and Grits image

Found this in the Charlotte Observor recently and it seems to have originated in a Chapel Hill eatery. Quick and very tasty. I used dried parsley (1 tbsp) which I had on hand. Great served with an nice fresh garden salad.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.
