Preparation

Step 1

In large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon, turning often, just until crisp, about 5 minutes.

Drain all but 1 tsp fat from pan; cook green onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute. Transfer to plate; let cool. Chop bacon; set aside 1 tbsp for garnish.

Meanwhile, in bowl, stir together yogurt, mayonnaise, basil, parsley, salt and pepper. Add green onion mixture and remaining bacon; stir. Garnish with reserved bacon.

Arrange shrimp on platter; serve with dip.
