Food from Hilton Head


Food on the visit to Hilton Head centered around seafood. Shrimp may be the biggest single thing I ate. In fact by the end of the stay Marilyn wanted anything but shrimp and I have yet to serve it at home.
We did visit the Shrimp Shack out of Beaufort to have their famous shrimp burger. Interesting but I was still hungry. I guess I should have ordered the larger shrimp burger with a side of sweet potato fries. The Shrimp Shack is mentioned in the Book "1,000 Places to See Before You Die". So one more place to mark off the list.
Also mentioned was the Low Country Boil. That would be shrimp, sausage, corn on the cob, and red new potatoes. The link is to Paula Dean's recipe. We didn't eat at her restaurant but did walk by the large crowd waiting to get in.
Another two special items were She-crab Soup and Shrimp and grits. I would have to say I enjoyed both of them but Marilyn only had a small taste. She was not ready for the full treatment.
