A flavorful and easy-to-make shrimp dish inspired by New Orleans cuisine.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
Save the bacon grease for added flavor in the sauce.
In the same pan, melt the butter and stir in the mustard, chili powder, basil, thyme, black pepper, oregano, garlic, and hot sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Place the shrimp in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and stir to coat evenly.
Ensure all shrimp are coated for even flavor.
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
Check the shrimp for doneness; they should be pink and opaque.
Serve the shrimp hot, garnished with the crispy bacon. Enjoy with crusty bread or rice.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
