Ingredients

  • 8 strips bacon cut into small pieces
  • 1 medium red onion sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 8 oz shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 TBS pine nuts
  • 3 TBS red wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet on medium. Cook the bacon pieces until they're crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer them onto a paper towel.

When the shrimp are pink and firm (2 to 4 minutes), stir in the vinegar and mustard, and season again with salt and pepper. If the pan looks dry, add a splash of olive oil.
  • Divide the spinach and eggs among four plates and top with the hot shrimp mixture, some of the dressing from the pan, and the bacon.
