How to Make Nymphadora's Shrimp Carbonara

  1. Chop 4 ounces of bacon into small bits. Cook in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for approximately 5 minutes, or until nearly crispy. Add 1 pound of thawed shrimp and cook until pink and opaque (about 3-5 minutes).
  2. Remove bacon and shrimp from the pan and set aside. Leave any rendered bacon grease in the pan.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Sauté 1/2 cup of finely chopped shallots, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 cup of sliced mushrooms in the remaining bacon grease for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add 1/4 cup of dry white wine and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Stir in the cooked bacon and shrimp. Add 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
  5. Add 1 pound of cooked pasta (preferably spaghetti or linguine) to the pan and toss to coat. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
