Ingredients

  • 8 strips bacon, cut into ¼-inch pieces

  • ½ (16 ounce) package dry fettuccine pasta

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

  • ¼ cup white wine

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 ½ pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. Cook and stir bacon in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat until browned and crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate; leave drippings in the skillet.

  3. Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.

  4. Meanwhile, melt butter in the same skillet. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add white wine; cook about 2 minutes. Stir in mustard until well combined. Off heat, add shrimp in a single layer.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are curled, pink, and no longer translucent, 10 to 12 minutes.

  6. Serve shrimp over fettuccine. Sprinkle with bacon; garnish with parsley.
