Ingredients

  • 3 strips of crispy bacon
  • ¾ cup of creamy butter
  • 2 tablespoons of zesty Dijon mustard (like Grey Poupon Country Mustard™)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of spicy chili powder
  • A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • A sprinkle of aromatic dried basil and thyme
  • 2 tablespoons of finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves of minced garlic
  • ½ cup of crisp dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon of flavorful seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
  • 2 pounds of succulent medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Step 1

Get ready to embark on a culinary adventure by preheating your oven to a toasty 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Begin by sizzling up some bacon in a generously sized skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches a deliciously crispy brown hue, typically taking around 10 minutes. Once the bacon is done, let it rest on a plate lined with absorbent paper to let any excess grease drain away. While that's happening, go ahead and chop up the bacon into delightful little pieces.

Step 3

Next, in that same skillet, let the butter mingle with the savory bacon grease over medium heat. Toss in your diced bacon along with a medley of flavors like Dijon mustard, chili powder, red pepper flakes, basil, thyme, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir this aromatic blend until the onions turn tender, which should take approximately 5 minutes.

Step 4

For an extra burst of flavor, introduce a splash of wine and a sprinkle of seafood seasoning into the mix. Add the shrimp and give everything a good toss to ensure they are thoroughly coated in all that goodness.

Step 5

Transfer this tantalizing shrimp and onion concoction into a baking dish measuring 9x13 inches, spreading it out evenly. Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake away until the shrimp transform into a vibrant pink hue on the outside and the meat loses its transparent appearance at the center, which usually takes about 20 minutes.

Step 6

Get ready to savor every bite of this delectable dish that's sure to impress your taste buds!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your hot sauce and spices in a cool, dry place to preserve their flavor and potency.
  2. 2. Store your shrimp in the coldest part of your refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  3. 3. Use airtight containers to store any leftover baked shrimp to prevent them from absorbing other flavors in the fridge.
