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 SO DELICIOUS! One of my top recipes of all time! An easy-to-make appetizer or first course. The flavors will intensify when marinated overnight. Serve in a large bowl lined with lettuce and kale for a fancy look. This is the best shrimp ever. It has become a staple for all "impress the guests" meals. It's easy! This shrimp is a perfect appetizer. I got this from a really fabulous book called Above & Beyond Parsley presented by the Junior League of Kansas City, Missouri.

MARINATED COCKTAIL SHRIMP
I keep a couple of bags of pre-cooked cocktail shrimp in the freezer for impromptu gatherings, and here's the method I've come up with to make them into a quick, more flavorful appetizer. Great year round, but I often end up taking it to summer potlucks and picnics. Since folks have asked me for the recipe, I figured I should probably write it up and finally share it here, too. :)

Steps:
- Place the frozen shrimp in a colander in the sink, and run hot water over them while stirring occasionally until they separate and begin to thaw, about 1 minute.
- Set aside to drain for another 5 minutes or so until they're thawed yet still chilled in the middles, then place them in a large bowl.
- To the bowl add the sherry, lime juice, seasoning salt, black pepper, ancho powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cocktail sauce, and stir well to coat; set aside for another 10 minutes or so, stirring occasionally.
- (You can put them in a container in the fridge for later, if need be, or into a container for taking to a picnic or potluck.).
- Serve with your favorite cocktail sauce for dipping.
- Note: you can, of course, use the marinade on thawed cooked shrimp - just toss them well in the marinade and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh, large shrimp. This will ensure that your shrimp are plump and juicy.
- Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the shrimp.

- Serve the shrimp immediately after cooking. This will ensure that they are served at their best.
