About

Shrimp DeJonghe is a Chicago specialty, with a history stretching back to possibly the 19th century at DeJonghe's Hotel and Restaurant. It's easy to see why: it consists of juicy, tender shrimp blanketed by a crunchy, buttery, garlicky breadcrumb layer infused with sherry. That sounds like an incredible meal right there! The lightness and richness of classic seafood just can't be beaten, and Shrimp DeJonghe really can't be beaten either! Mmmmm, sounds like some delicious Chicago joy right there!
