1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 slices bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon tomato paste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups milk or half-and-half

12 ounces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil, torn into pieces

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large wide pot or medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally until crisp, about 5 minutes.
