Shrimps with bacon and herb mayonnaise is a delightful dish that combines the savory flavors of crispy bacon, tender shrimp, and a creamy, herb-infused mayo. This recipe is perfect for a quick yet impressive appetizer or a flavorful main dish that will wow your guests.

Ingredients:

4 bacon strips
100g
1 cup mayonnaise
230g
1/2 cup sour cream
120g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp chives
16g
1 tbsp tarragon (estragon)
16g
12 oz shrimps
340g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bacon:
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips to the skillet and cook until they are crispy, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Once done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
- After cooling, chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
2. Make the Herb Mayonnaise:
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, chopped chives, and chopped tarragon.
- Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
3. Cook the Shrimps:
- In the same skillet used for the bacon, add the shrimps. If needed, add a small amount of the bacon grease or use olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the shrimps over medium heat, about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
- Remove the shrimps from the skillet and place them on a plate.
4. Assemble and Serve:
- Arrange the cooked shrimps on a serving platter.
- Drizzle or dollop the herb mayonnaise over the shrimps or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
- Sprinkle the chopped bacon pieces over the top for a delicious crunch.
- Garnish with additional fresh herbs like chives or tarragon if desired.
5. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy this savory blend of shrimps, bacon, and herbaceous mayonnaise!

Tips:

- Ensure the prawns are fresh and deveined for the best texture and flavor.

- Cook the bacon until it is crispy to add a pleasing crunch to the dish.

- Finely chop the garlic, chives, and tarragon to fully release their flavors into the mayonnaise.

- For a lighter version, consider using light mayonnaise and sour cream.

- Let the herb mayonnaise sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serve the shrimps with the herb mayonnaise on the side for dipping, or drizzle it over the top for a luxurious finish. This dish is sure to become a favorite, with the smoky bacon complementing the succulent shrimp and the fresh, tangy herb mayo adding the perfect finishing touch.
