Preparation

Step 1

For the Bacon Tomato Jam: place a large heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is completely crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel lined plate and set aside. Drain the bacon fat into a bowl, reserving 2 tablespoons in the pan.
Return the pan to the heat and add onions, sugar and season with salt. Stir to combine and cook until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize, about 3-5 minutes. Add the horseradish, tomatoes, sherry vinegar and Dijon and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until thickened and jam-like, about 20-25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, remove from heat, stir in bacon and allow to cool before serving.
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and thread onto skewers, allowing them to lie flat and straight. Drizzle with olive oil and place on grill. Cook until charred and shrimp are just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and serve with bacon tomato jam for dipping.
Tip: use the bacon jam as a condiment on a burger!
