Shrimp, Bacon, and Pasta

 Tonight was Jake's night to cook and we are still going with use what's in the house. The shrimp was in the freezer, and there was 4 slices of bacon left. However we did pick up a couple of things at the store, some spring onions, a lemon, a lime, and a package of angle hair pasta, I spent right over $2.00.

 Jake started by chopping some garlic, the 3 spring onions, a few small red, yellow, and orange peppers. Then he placed the bacon on some parchment paper on a cookie sheet and cooked it for 15 minutes in a 450 degree oven. He also started the water for the pasta. He started by adding 2 tbs butter and a tbs olive oil in a deep skillet, he then added the shrimp he had marinated in smoked paprika, dried thyme, basil, and oregano. He cooked it just until it turned pink. He removed the shrimp, and started off on the sauce. He added more butter and olive oil along with 1/2 cup of white wine, he cooked that for about a minute or two. He then added the onions, peppers, garlic, more smoked paprika, ancho chili powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and the bacon. He let that cook for about 5 minutes, then added about 1 cup of chicken stock. He let that cook for another 5 minutes. He added the shrimp back in and then the cooked pasta. Lastly he added the green part of the spring onions in and served it with some grated Parmesan cheese. It was simple and fast.

 He did another great job!
