The combination of sweet, ripe tomatoes with crispy bacon and juicy lettuce has become so popular and harmonious that it's simply called a BLT, after the initials of its main ingredients. This trio is served as a sandwich between two slices of toasted bread, slathered in a delicate sauce of sour cream, mayonnaise, and Old Bay seasoning, which pairs beautifully with the seafood, particularly the shrimp that complement this hearty sandwich. The shrimp are fried in bacon fat, acquiring a wealth of flavor and a subtle smoky note. For a tart touch, add a couple of slices of pickled cucumber.
