Why This Dish Is So Satisfying

This dish offers a perfect balance of spicy and savory flavors that excite your taste buds. It’s quick to prepare, making it ideal for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. Plus, shrimp cooks fast and stays tender when baked just right.

Tips For Best Results

- Use fresh or fully thawed shrimp for the best texture.
- Don’t overcook the shrimp; bake just until they turn pink and opaque.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after baking for a bright, zesty finish.

Step 1

Lightly heat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large, deep skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until it’s nicely browned and crispy, which should take about 10 minutes. Once done, move the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off the grease, but keep the bacon fat in the skillet. When the bacon is cool enough, chop it up into small pieces.

Step 2

Melt the butter in the bacon grease over medium heat. Add the diced bacon back in along with the Dijon mustard, chili powder, red pepper flakes, basil, thyme, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Stir everything together and cook until the onion softens, around 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour in the wine and sprinkle in the seafood seasoning, then add the shrimp. Toss everything so the shrimp gets coated evenly with the flavorful mixture. Transfer the shrimp and sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 4

Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the shrimp turn bright pink and are cooked through but still juicy. Once done, it’s ready to serve and enjoy!

Serving Advice

Serve alongside a simple green salad or steamed vegetables to keep the meal light. It also pairs beautifully with rice or crusty bread to soak up any extra sauce. For a fun twist, try it as a topping for tacos or in a warm wrap.

How To Store For Later

Store leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the stovetop to avoid toughening the shrimp. Avoid freezing after cooking, as it can change the texture.
