Supper Club Shrimp De Jonghe for 2 (Or 3), One of those old-fashioned supper club type recipes, complete with a smoky piano bar in the corner and an ashtray on every table This recipe comes from the 1965 edition of The Gourmet Foods Cookbook published by the Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, Illinois And in fact, Shrimp de Jonghe was created in Chicago in the 1920s at the De Jonghe Hotel on Monroe Street in The Loop, either by the hotel owner himself or his chef, Emil Zehr Unfortunately, the hotel was closed in the 1930s for, yup, violations of the Prohibition Act I’ve reduced a little of the butter and replaced a tablespoon of it with olive oil, but this dish is still very rich, and may be prepared as an appetizer for 4 people as well , Although I would like to give this recipe 5 stars for taste and ease, cooking the already cooked shrimp at 400 degrees for 15-20 mins really made it too tough to eat Maybe I did something wrong? Next time I think I will try to cook it with raw shrimp and see how it turns out , I had a bunch of cooked shrimp from a party I forgot to bring it to I had no idea what to do with it until I tried this Now I will cook shrimp just to eat this dish It was very good I will cut back on the butter a bit next time as it is swimming in butter which was not necessary But everything else was perfect Thank you so much for sharing
