SHRIMP DE JONGHE
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 ;)).

- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mash garlic to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt using a mortar and pestle (or mince and mash garlic with salt using a large knife), then stir together with fresh and dried herbs, shallot, onion, 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) butter, 1 cup bread crumbs, nutmeg, mace, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Melt remaining 1/2 stick butter and stir together with remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to make topping.
- Arrange shrimp in 1 layer (slightly overlapping if necessary) in a buttered 3-quart flameproof gratin dish or other wide shallow ceramic baking dish.
- Cover with herbed breadcrumb mixture, then sprinkle with topping.
- Bake in upper third of oven until golden, about 15 minutes.
- Turn on broiler and broil until crumbs are golden brown, about 2 minutes.

[email protected]This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it can be improved with a few tweaks. I would add more garlic and lemon juice to the sauce and I would also cook the shrimp for a shorter amount of time.
