This one is close to our heart. Shrimp de Jonghe and Home Chef share a hometown: the bustling burg of Chicago. This is one of our older dishes (we mean Chicago, not Home Chef), born in the late 19th or early 20th century at DeJonghe's Hotel and Restaurant on Monroe Street. Succulent shrimp are baked with pasta and a rich sauce of garlic, tomatoes, and cheese, crusted with a pinch of heat and baked to perfection. We hope you'll agree that we're doing our hometown proud here. Tip: Make quick work of mincing garlic by smashing the whole clove with the side of your chef's knife. Then rock the knife back and forth, keeping the tip steady by resting your other hand over the top._
