Pasta carbonara with shrimp in cream sauce

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. Take any pasta to your liking, I took the usual spaghetti. Shrimps are large, royal, small salad shrimps are not suitable. Cream of medium fat content, - usually cream of 20% fat content is taken for sauces. Bacon will suit anyone: both raw, and smoked, and boiled, but keep in mind that smoked bacon will give its flavor to the finished dish. Since it's not so easy to find real parmesan right now, you can

2. Step 2:

   

   Boil the pasta according to the instructions on the package. I usually cook pasta to the state of aldente and this is usually 1 minute less than indicated by the manufacturer.

3. Step 3:

   

   While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add the peeled garlic cloves. Fry until lightly browned for about 5 minutes over low heat, then remove the garlic from the pan. We need him to give his flavor to the butter.

   Cut the bacon into small cubes or thin strips.

   Defrost the shrimp. If you have pink shrimp, then they are already cooked and thawing will be enough. If you have gray shrimp, then they will need to be boiled for about 5 minutes. Peel the shrimp.

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

8. Step 8:

   

   In a separate bowl, combine the grated parmesan. I use already grated parmesan in factory packaging. If you have lump cheese, it does not matter on which grater it will be grated, because the cheese will melt in the finished dish anyway. Combine the yolk with the grated cheese.
