Preparation
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil.
Add the bacon and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until most of the fat has been rendered.
Spoon off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the skillet. Stir in the garlic and whole chiles and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until they are pink and curled, about 3 minutes. Add the vermouth and cook until nearly evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in the mint, transfer to plates and serve.
