Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until it’s nice and crispy, about 10 minutes. Once it’s done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, and save the bacon grease in the skillet. When the bacon has cooled enough to handle, chop it into small pieces.

Step 2

Next, add the butter to the bacon grease in the skillet and melt it over medium heat. Toss in the diced bacon, Dijon mustard, chili powder, red pepper flakes, basil, thyme, chopped onion, and garlic. Cook everything together, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften, which should take about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour in the white wine and sprinkle in the seafood seasoning, then add the shrimp. Give it all a good toss so the shrimp get coated with the flavorful mixture. Transfer everything to a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
