SHRIMP DE JONGHE
A dish my mother made for special occasions. According to some sources, shrimp de jonghe was invented at the turn of the 20th century by the De Jonghe brothers, Belgian immigrants and owners of DeJonghe's Hotel and Restaurant in Chicago. This garlicky, herbed casserole is one of the earliest Windy City specialties. This dish can be served as an appetizer or main course.

This is from The Good Home Cookbook with a few of my personal modifications. Fresh parsley was originally called for but I used green onion instead; feel free to use either one.

Steps:
- Peel and slice the garlic cloves. Melt half the butter in a large skillet. Add the shrimp and the garlic. Cook the shrimp until they start to turn pink on both sides. Don't worry if they're not completely cooked, they're going in the oven later. Remove the shrimp to about 6 or 8 small individual casserole dishes. Try to leave the garlic and butter in the pan.
- Add the rest of the butter to the pan you just cooked the shrimp in, and continue cooking until the butter is clarified and the garlic is browned.
- Strain the clarified garlic butter into a bowl or I use a 2 cup measuring cup. It makes it easy to pour.
- Mix 1/4 cup of the clarified butter with the bread crumbs and set aside.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the rest of the clarified butter. Stir and pour an even ammount into each shrimp dish. I try to stir as I pour to make sure every dish gets the same ammount of everything.
- Flake bread crumbs over shrimp. At this point they can be refrigerated and baked later.
- Bake 10-12 minutes at 400°F.
- Bread crumbs should be browned on top.

SHRIMP DE JONGHE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Blanch shrimp in boiling salted water 30 seconds, then drain in a colander and rinse under cold water until cool. Pat shrimp dry and arrange in 1 layer in a buttered 1-quart gratin dish or other ovenproof dish.
- Stir together butter, garlic paste, and Sherry until blended. Stir in bread crumbs, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Dot shrimp with crumb mixture and sprinkle with almonds.
- Bake shrimp until just cooked through and topping is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them in cold water before cooking.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a light hand with the seasonings. Shrimp have a delicate flavor, so it's easy to overpower them with seasonings. Use a light hand with the seasonings and adjust to taste.
- Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve their flavor and texture.
