Shrimp Carbonara

This is a really easy recipe. Not so healthy, but who doesn't love a good alfredo sauce with bacon... And Shrimp! YAY!

I call this the "Fan Favorite."

Ingredients

20-40 shrimp

1 box penne pasta

¼ cup garlic, chopped

3 strips bacon, chopped

1 can peas

½ quart light cream

1 onion or shallot

1 cup Parmesan cheese

Step 1

Cook the penne by the directions of the box.

Step 2

In a hot sauté pan add chopped bacon. Sauté until almost crispy.

Step 3

Add shrimp, garlic and shallot/onion. Once garlic and onion/shallot are nice and soft and cooked, and the shrimp are about 3/4 of the way cooked, drain some of the grease from the bacon.

Step 4

Add your cream and bring to a rolling simmer. Add your pasta and Parmesan cheese and let it simmer until it reaches the thickness of your liking.

Step 5

Add your peas. Stir them in evenly and serve. You can also sub out the shrimp for chicken or just add vegetables of your choice and leave out the protein.
