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 ;)).

- Cover with herbed breadcrumb mixture, then sprinkle with topping.
- Bake in upper third of oven until golden, about 15 minutes.
