Fry bacon on medium heat in a deep pan until it is crisp. You can remove some grease as it cooks and put it in a small bowl to save for later. Remove bacon from pan and place on plate with paper towels to dry up the grease.

In the same bacon grease pan, add in shrimp. If needing more lubricant in the pan, spoon previously removed bacon grease back into pan. Cook shrimp on medium heat and season with garlic powder. They will be cooked when their tail curls. Remove from pan and add to plate with bacon.

In same pan used previously in steps 1 and 2, cook minced garlic in the grease until brown. Can add more grease if needed. Add in milk and cheese. Stir until melted.

Add in pesto. Season with the seasonings. Stir. Add in shrimp. If desired, cut shrimp in half before adding. Crumble bacon and add it to this mixture.

Pour cooked pasta onto mixture. Stir. Serve your Bacon Shrimp Pasta hot.
