Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara
26
Kitchen Commander
"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."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- 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. Drain.
- 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.

Unbelievable. This is my wife's favorite dish at olive garden. She orders it everytime and says she can't tell a difference. We wouldn't change a thing and this made so many servings! Thank you!

Delicious. Very labor intensive but well worth it. The recipe didn’t mention the use of bacon other than cooking it and using the grease to cook the onions. I added it in at the end. Wow!!

It was great but we didn't have shrimp so doubled up on chicken. The sauce was wonderful. The recipe however doesn't mention putting the bacon back into the sauce at any point. If I was making ...

Fantastic. My kids and husband love this. I typically grill my meat the night before just because it taste better but I give this 5 stars.
