Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara

Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara Additionally, this is a re-posting of an earlier post. The original had far too much cream and milk for the sauce and was made for too many people, so I changed the ingredients and proportions to make them a little more doable.Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara

4. As directed on the package, cook the pasta in boiling salted water.
5. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup of the butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. To avoid clumping, add flour and whisk to mix well. Add the bacon, milk, heavy cream, and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and let it simmer. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper based on taste.Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara
6. Warm up a big skillet. Drain bacon on paper towels after sautéing it over medium heat until crispy. Extra bacon fat should be poured off. When the chicken is no longer pink, add it to the pan and sauté it for about 8 minutes. Add shrimp, bacon, and red peppers. The shrimp should curl and just turn pink after a minute or two of cooking on each side.
7. Stir everything together after adding the sauce.
8. Put pasta on a plate. Add the sauce mixture, chicken, and shrimp on top. Distribute the topping evenly on top. Put it in the oven for a few minutes to melt the topping.
