Shrimp Carbonara

Posted on May 7, 2021May 9, 2021

Shrimp carbonara is a delectable dish boasting salty pancetta, toothsome pasta and tender shrimp draped in an elegant but incredibly easy-to-make sauce of Parmesan and eggs. You can get this sumptuous Italian dish on the table in 30 minutes or less — equally great for a special occasion that calls for a splurge or a busy weeknight when comfort food is in order.

Shrimp Carbonara

INGREDIENTS:

  • 12 ounces bucatini*
  • 4 slices bacon, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/4 cup half and half*, or more, as needed
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

DIRECTIONS:

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat; reserving 1 tablespoon in the skillet. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. Add garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  5. Stir in cream cheese, half and half and peas until well combined, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more half and half as needed until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Stir in pasta and bacon.
