Homemade carbonara inspired Shrimp Alfredo with crispy bacon pieces is better than a restaurant

Bacon pieces are fried first until crispy. Keep some bacon fat in the pan to fry onion and garlic, then add shrimp and let cook for 1 minute.

Use jumbo shrimp or prawns for this shrimp Alfredo recipe. You can use shrimp with tails left on or removed — it’s completely your choice.

Pour in heavy cream, half and half or evaporated milk for your cream base. Taste test the sauce and adjust salt and pepper, if needed. If your bacon is very salty, you will not need to add salt, just pepper.

Once the sauce has thickened, add in parsley or any other herb you prefer, and you have the perfect dinner for any night of the week!

how do you know if shrimp is cooked?
I recommend using uncooked shrimp for this Alfredo recipe. Keep in mind that shrimp cook FAST, so its best to have all of your ingredients ready on your kitchen bench or near your cooking area while cooking. That way you can easily throw your ingredient in the pan as you need them.

Shrimp change colour to pink and opaque when they’re done, which is a great indicator for you. Normally they only need 3-4 minutes to cook. Be sure to watch that they don’t overcook, or they may become tough and chewy.

All up, our shrimp Alfredo is done is less than 10 minutes.

Love carbs? Toss in your favourite pasta of choice! Fettuccine, spaghetti, linguine or penne pasta work well, as does plain rice.
