My husband and I loved this dish and can't wait to have it again. Relatively quick and easy, the long part was making the bacon and defrosting/peeling shrimp. I didn't realize until it was too late that my cheddar cheese had gone bad. I ended up using gruyere cut into tiny cubes. It was very lemony, but I love love love lemon.

A little too lemony for me, so I'll cut back on the juice a bit next time. And yes, I'll make it again. 😋
