Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chopped bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
Add the olive oil to the skillet with the bacon grease and heat over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked. Remove from heat and let cool. Chop the cooked shrimp into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, hot sauce, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Fold in the chopped shrimp and most of the crispy bacon, reserving a small amount of bacon for garnish.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the dip mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake the dip for 12-15 minutes, or until it is heated through and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with the reserved bacon and sliced green onions.
Serve warm with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
