Description
This classic shrimp de jonghe recipe transforms simple ingredients into a gourmet dish with golden breadcrumbs and a rich, buttery aroma. It’s a quick, flavorful, and budget-friendly family favorite perfect for an impressive dinner without the fuss.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
- 6 oz unsalted butter, melted, divided
- 2 oz shallots, finely minced
- 1.5 oz garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons sweet smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 7 oz Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 oz fresh parsley, finely chopped, divided
- 0.5 oz preserved lemon rind, finely minced
- 0.5 oz fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1.8 oz pistachios, shelled, unsalted, roughly chopped and toasted
Instructions
- Prep the Shrimp: Pat peeled, deveined shrimp very dry. This ensures tender results; they should feel almost tacky.
- Build Flavor Base: In small saucepan, melt 3 oz butter. Cook shallots until translucent (3-4 min), then garlic for 1 min until fragrant. Remove heat.
- Combine Liquids: Stir vegetable broth, lemon juice, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (optional), and black pepper into shallot-garlic mixture.
- Prepare Crumb Topping: In separate bowl, combine Panko, remaining 3 oz butter, 20g parsley, minced preserved lemon, 10g dill. Mix until moist. (If too dry, add a splash more melted butter.)
- Assemble & Bake: Arrange shrimp in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour liquid, then evenly top with crumbs. Bake at 390F for 15-20 min; shrimp opaque, topping golden.
- Garnish & Serve: Toast pistachios (2-3 min, fragrant) while baking. Remove shrimp de jonghe, garnish with remaining parsley, dill, pistachios. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best texture, pat shrimp very dry. Use good quality butter for better flavor. Recipe is adaptable (gluten-free Panko, plant-based butter for dairy-free). For freshest experience, seek never-frozen shrimp or high-quality IQF (individually quick-frozen) shrimp. Optional cooking methods include Air Fryer (190C (375F) for 8-12 minutes) or Stovetop (pan-sear shrimp, then cook breadcrumb mixture).
