According to some sources, the De Jonghe brothers, Belgian immigrants and founders of the famous DeJonghe’s Hotel and Restaurant in Chicago, invented shrimp de Jonghe. One of the first Chicago delicacies is this garlicky, herbed dish, and this meal works well as an appetizer or as the main dinner.
The ingredients required to make this dish
- 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp (we recommend removing the shell from the tail too)
- Butter (six tablespoons)
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic, minced
- Sherry wine (1/4 cup)
- One tablespoon green onion, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoons salt,
- 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper and 1/4 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
Now let’s have a look at the step-by-step direction for preparing Shrimp de Jonghe
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 1 to 1-1/2-quart casserole dish.
- Take a medium saucepan and put it over medium-low heat. Melt the butter and sauté for approximately 30 seconds after adding the minced garlic.
- Combine the shrimp, sherry, onion, salt, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a mixing bowl. Stir six tablespoons of bread crumbs until wet.
- Fill the casserole dish halfway with the mixture. After that, bake for 25 minutes, or until cooked properly. Now, with the remaining two tablespoons of bread crumbs on top. Serve immediately.
What else to serve with Shrimp de Jonghe?
- To mop up all of the delicious sauce, all you need is a crusty, steaming loaf of bread. For these shrimps, that should be your first pick. This recipe calls for a no-knead miracle bread.
- Traditional scampi, some pasta, such as angel hair, could also be used to pair the dish.
- Try it with a delicious salad on occasion. It is both an Israeli Couscous Salad and a Spanish Pipirrana that would be delicious with the shrimp of the best Seafood Exporters.
- Or maybe try the most exquisite shrimp from the best shrimp manufacturers in India with a glass of your favorite wine.
If you create a large batch of Jonghe, these shrimp from the shrimp manufacturers in India can be kept refrigerated for a couple of days in an airtight container. The Seafood Exporters, however, don’t advise freezing because the quality will suffer.
If you’re looking for big shrimp, try to get them from the Seafood Exporters. A casserole of plump shrimp topped with delicious butter, sherry, and garlic breadcrumbs will lift everyone’s mood.
