Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lay the baguette slices on a baking tray and drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Bake for about 10 minutes or until crispy. Remove from oven and roughly break up the bread into small pieces. Set aside.
In a large skillet set over medium to high heat, add the remaining olive oil until sizzling. Add shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
In reserved pan, add the bacon. Cook each side for about 2 minutes. Remove from pan when just starting to go crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble bacon.
Assemble cups. First place bread crumbs inside the cups, then top with shrimp and bacon. Squeeze over lime juice and then top with a piece of cheese, chives and spring onion. Drizzle over balsamic reduction and top with a little sea salt.
Serve immediately.
