Fish


4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 lb. shrimp, peeled and devined
2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
2 tbsp. butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. tomato paste
2/3 c. tomato juice
2 tbsp. vodka
2 tsp. prepared horseradish
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt
Pinch red pepper flakes
1 c. cherry tomatoes

1/2 lemon, sliced into wedges, for serving

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp and golden. Remove bacon from skillet, and reserve about 1 tablespoon bacon fat. Add shrimp and season with Old Bay. Cook until pink, 4 to 5 minutes a side. Remove shrimp from pan, wipe out pan and return to heat.

2. Melt butter in pan. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook until slightly darkened, 2 minutes. Stir in tomato juice, vodka, horseradish, and Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and chili flakes. Bring to a simmer, then add tomatoes and return shrimp to pan. Cook until sauce has reduced slightly and tomatoes are beginning to burst.

3. Remove from heat, top with bacon and green onions and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
