Shrimp De Jonghe
Ingredients
2 lbs. shrimp, cleaned and deveined
2 cloves garlic, chopped fine (we use
more but to taste)
3/4 C. cold firm butter or margarine
1 tsp. salt
3/4 to 1 C. lukewarm dry sherry or
sauterne (I have used vermouth)
1/2 C. finely chopped parsley
1 1/2 C. lightly toasted bread crumbs
(can use dressing cubes in blender)
1/4 C. melted butter
1/4 C. grated Parmesan cheese
Cooking Instructions
Wash shrimp. Drain and dry. Arrange in flat baking dish. Beat butter until very light, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic, salt, wine (a little at a time), parsley, and bread crumbs. Spread over shrimp. Sprinkle with grated cheese and drizzle with melted butter. Bake at 350 degrees until shrimp is done, about 30 minutes. You can broil until brown and crisp. (I usually don’t as it seems to brown enough in baking). Serves 6 to 8. Some cook the shrimp and then use this recipe. I don’t as the shrimp seems more moist without cooking the shrimp beforehand.
