Instructions
- Heat oil a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the bacon until crispy. Drain off some excess fat, keeping about 1 teaspoons worth in the pan. Add the onion and garlic and fry until onion is transparent (about 1 minute).
- Reduce heat to low. Add shrimp and let cook for 1 minute, while stirring occasionally.
- Pour in half and half (or cream) and add in parmesan cheese. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for 1 minute. Season with a little salt and pepper to your taste and let cook until the parmesan cheese has melted, the shrimp are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Top with parsley, taste test sauce and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve over pasta, rice, steamed veg, mashed potatoes, cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
Notes
- Tip: Taste test before adding salt and after adding bacon as the mixture may already be salty enough.
