Shrimp Carbonara
This delightful dish marries the succulent flavors of shrimp with creamy pasta in a way that’s sure to make your dinner party the highlight of the week! So, roll up your sleeves and get prepared to impress!
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces spaghetti or fettuccine
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- First things first, let’s get that pasta cooking! Boil a large pot of salted water and add your spaghetti or fettuccine. Cook according to the package directions until al dente. Don’t forget to reserve a cup of pasta water for later!
- While the pasta is doing its thing, heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant—about 30 seconds—because who doesn’t love the smell of garlic wafting through the house?
- Now, it’s time to add the star of the dish: the shrimp! Sauté them until they’re pink and opaque on both sides—about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy, sprinkle like you’re a rockstar chef!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and Parmesan cheese. This will create a creamy, dreamy sauce that brings everything together!
- Once your pasta is cooked and drained, quickly add it to the skillet with the shrimp. Remember that reserved pasta water? Add a splash or two to help the sauce glide smoothly.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta. Stir quickly so the heat from the pasta cooks the eggs gently – we want a silky sauce, not scrambled eggs!
- Finish off with some extra Parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for that gourmet touch. Bam! You did it! Serve hot and watch as your friends and family devour every last bite!
And there you have it! A sensational Shrimp Carbonara ready to rock your dinner table and leave your guests clamoring for the recipe. Enjoy each creamy bite; we promise, this dish is pure pasta perfection!
