This is such a good recipe to prepare at the beach or a party. It makes a lot and there is something for everyone. This is very popular in the south, especially in the low country. What I like about it is that the husband usually takes charge of this and cooks it outside. It's a man thing. The wife prepares other goodies inside

Serve in a large bowl and just let everyone dip out what they want. Serve with extra butter and plenty of napkins.
