Steps:
- In a medium bowl, toss shrimp, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and oil. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Place bacon in a large skillet, and place over medium-high heat. Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until almost all the fat is rendered, 6 to 7 minutes. Pour off and discard all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat. Add the shrimp, marinade ingredients, and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste; saute, turning frequently, until the shrimp are opaque and just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove shrimp and bacon, and transfer to serving dish. Add lemon juice and stock to skillet; cook, stirring up cooked-on brown bits. Cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Swirl in butter; cook, swirling skillet until butter has melted. Pour the sauce over shrimp, and serve with Lentils with Scallions and Peppers.
Tips:
- Prep Ingredients: Before you start cooking, ensure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help streamline the cooking process.
- Perfect Shrimp: To achieve perfectly cooked shrimp, sear them briefly on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Overcooking can make them rubbery.
- Crispy Bacon: For crispy bacon, cook it in a single layer in a skillet over medium heat. Flip the bacon occasionally until it reaches your desired crispiness.
- Flavorful Ragu: Use a variety of cheeses in the ragu to create a rich and complex flavor. Experiment with different types of cheeses to find your favorite combination.
- Truffle Oil: Add a touch of luxury to the ragu by stirring in some truffle oil. Its earthy aroma and flavor will enhance the overall taste of the dish.
- Garnish Elegantly: Garnish the dish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
