SHRIMP DE JONGHE



Shrimp De Jonghe image

This recipe come from a 1947 issue of Gourmet Magazine. Created at de Jonghe's restaurant in Chicago, this dish is a memorial to a time when we were afraid of garlic but not of butter. The amount of garlic in it was considered outrageously racy. (Increase or decrease the amount to suit your tastes ;)).
