Ingredients

1/2 pound medium (21-25 count) raw shrimp, shell-on
6 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped
2 shallots, finely chopped
1/3 cup malt vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces pea shoots
1/2 cup fresh chives, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped

Directions

1

Fill heavy-bottomed saucepan halfway with water, and bring to a boil. Add shrimp and cook until shrimp turn pink, one to two minutes. Drain in colander, and transfer to medium-sized bowl filled with ice water. Let sit until cold, about five minutes. Drain shrimp, peel, and then set aside.
2

Clean out saucepan and return to stove. Add bacon and turn heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until bacon is crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove bacon with slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels.
3

Add shallots to saucepan with bacon fat. Cook, stirring often, until shallots are soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Cook until hot, about 30 seconds. Turn off heat, add pea shoots, and toss until wilted.
4

Divide pea shoots between four plates, and top with shrimp. Sprinkle with bacon, chives, and tarragon.
