Description

Serve this bacon shrimp scampi recipe made with garlic, butter, white wine, Dijon mustard, and fresh parsley over fettuccine to soak up the yummy sauce.

Ingredients

8 slices bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 (16 ounce) package dry fettuccine pasta
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon chopped parsley, or to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2 Cook and stir bacon in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat until browned and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate; leave drippings in the skillet.
3 Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
4 Meanwhile, melt butter in the same skillet. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add white wine; cook about 2 minutes. Stir in mustard until well combined. Off heat, add shrimp in a single layer.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are curled, pink, and no longer translucent, 10 to 12 minutes.
6 Serve shrimp over fettuccine. Sprinkle with bacon; garnish with parsley.
