Pasta carbonara with shrimp in creamy sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. Use any pasta you like, I used regular spaghetti. Large shrimp, king shrimp, and small salad shrimp are not suitable. Medium-fat cream - usually 20% fat cream is used for sauces. Any bacon will do: raw, uncooked, smoked, but keep in mind that smoked bacon will add its own flavor to the finished dish. Since now it’s not so easy to find real Parmesan , Can

2. STEP 2

   

   Cook pasta according to package instructions. I usually cook the pasta until al dente and this is usually 1 minute less than the manufacturer's instructions.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a frying pan and add the peeled garlic cloves. Fry until lightly browned, about 5 minutes over low heat, then remove the garlic from the pan. We need it to impart its aroma to the oil.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the bacon into small cubes or thin strips.

5. STEP 5

   

   Thaw the shrimp. If you have pink shrimp, then they are already boiled and defrosting will be enough. If you have gray shrimp, you will need to boil them for about 5 minutes. Clean the shrimp.

6. STEP 6

   

   First add bacon to the pan and fry for about 5 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then add the shrimp and fry everything together again for about 5-7 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   In a separate bowl, combine grated Parmesan. I use pre-grated Parmesan cheese in the factory packaging. If you have piece cheese, it doesn’t matter what kind of grater you use to grate it, because... the cheese will still melt in the finished dish. Combine the yolk with grated cheese.
