Shrimp Carbonara Recipe

Updated on April 19th, 2019

With a dish like this, it’s no surprise Italian cuisine is one of the most popular around. Shrimp Carbonara is among my favorite Italian foods. This dish combines shrimp, bacon, and onion with noodles and a sauce. The sauce is a combination of whipping cream, eggs, and Romano cheese. Like many of the recipes I post, this dish is very easy and can be on the table in about 30 minutes or less. It’s perfect if you want to make a good impression with little effort. It is a good idea to try and time cooking the noodles along with the shrimp and bacon so the noodles remain fresh.  Enjoy.
