Keto Shrimp De Jonghe. According to record this is a famous dish coming from…Chicago and I’m not sure I care where it came from, but it is truly quite divine. The original recipe was made with tons of butter and bread crumbs and about the only thing I have changed is the breadcrumbs. A cook always mixes and matches spices to their own liking, this is mine, and danged good if I do say so myself.
The idea is that the shrimp be swimming in a buttery breadcrumbed, herby pool of fatty unctuousness and this keto shrimp De Jonghe is all that. Now, do pork rinds taste like bread crumbs? No certainly not, but man, they do make a fabulous stand-in. I had half a mind to try it with Carbalose Bread Crumbs and I’m glad I didn’t as the dish is absolutely perfect the way I tested and then wrote it.
So here we go. Keto shrimp De Jonghe. It’s very easy to make and quite a satisfying keto meal.

- Dish is probably best eaten with a knife and a spoon otherwise you are defeating the sauce completely. As you can see I first did mine in an individual casserole dish that contained the buttery mixture perfectly and if you don't have these I would suggest serving in a bowl. (3rd Pic)
- I was a little worried that the sauce would not stay in the dish while baking…It was close.
- This would probably be very good served over spaghetti squash and in my bowl, I put it over cauliflower grits with green beans.
- Can be served at a dinner party as an appetizer for 8.
