Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara
My wife and I went to that popular Italian-American restaurant chain for dinner recently, and I had their shrimp and chicken carbonara. It was absolutely delicious and I thought, 'What the heck, I'll try making this at home.' I found a few recipes online, but none grabbed me. After studying several recipes, I came up with this recipe on my own. It's fairly simple to make, and my wife said it was better than the original.
π Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
Cook and stir chicken with 1 tablespoon garlic and 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
Transfer chicken to a bowl and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon garlic and 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same pan.
Fry shrimp until red on the outside and white on the inside, 6 to 8 minutes.
Place with the chicken.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
Add bacon to the pan; cook until just crispy, not crunchy, about 6 minutes.
Drain on 2 paper towels.
Saute onion in the bacon grease until translucent, about 5 minutes.
While onion is sauteeing, mix cream, Parmesan cheese, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and remaining Italian seasoning together in a bowl.
Pour wine into the pan with the onions.
Increase heat and bring to a boil.
Cook until wine is mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes.
Add the creamy egg mixture and reduce heat.
Simmer until sauce begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the chicken and shrimp; mix to coat.
Serve on top of pasta.
