How to Make Shrimp Penne Extraordinaire
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound penne pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
- While pasta cooks, fry 4 slices bacon in a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat until crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Roughly chop 1 medium onion.
- Add the onion to the bacon skillet along with 1/4 cup dry white wine, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
- Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Increase heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Crumble the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- Finely chop 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional).
- Add 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined) and 1/2 cup half-and-half to the skillet.
- Stir well and cook until shrimp is pink and opaque and heated through, about 1 minute. Do not boil.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Drain the cooked pasta.
- Return the pasta to the pot.
- Pour the shrimp mixture over the pasta.
- Add the crumbled bacon and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately, garnished with 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese per serving and a sprinkle of chopped parsley, if desired.
