For the shrimp:

Place grill pan on grill and set burners to high. Sprinkle shrimp with Old Bay seasoning and toss to coat. Place shrimp on grill pan. Grill shrimp 2-3 minutes per side. They will be firm and white when fully cooked-check often, being careful not to overcook.

For the dressing:

In a small bowl, mix vinegar, sugar, honey and mustard. Heat bacon drippings in sauce pan on low. When drippings are warm, slowly pour in the vinegar mixture. Whisk all ingredients together until mixed well. Keep whisking on low temp til the dressing is emulsified.

For the salad:

Place spinach on large platter. Arrange the grilled shrimp,crumbled bacon, and onion on top of greens. Gently drizzle with warm dressing. Add egg slices. Toss gently to serve.
