CHICKEN AND SHRIMP CARBONARA



Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara image

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.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
8 slices smoked bacon, diced
1 onion, diced
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
4 egg yolks
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup Sauvignon Blanc wine

Steps:

  • 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.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1/4 lb shrimp, shelled and deveined
5 tablespoons cooking oil
1/4 cup flour
8 slices bacon or 8 slices italian pancetta, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 pinch salt
1 pinch white pepper
1/4 cup white wine
4 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh Italian parsley, chopped
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly flour chicken cubes and shrimp.
  • Put 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet, then heat over medium heat.
  • Add chicken and shrimp; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until no pink remains in the chicken. Transfer to a platter and keep warm.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat in the same skillet.
  • Add bacon or pancetta and onion; cook about 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Add chicken, shrimp, salt and white pepper; cook 2 minutes over medium heat.
  • Add white wine; cook approximately 2 minutes or until wine has reduced by one-half.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs, cream, and Italian parsley together until well blended.

  • Lightly dust top with a little bit of cracked black pepper and Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh shrimp and chicken, and use a good quality pasta.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp or chicken. They should be cooked through but still tender.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven to cook the pasta. This will help prevent the pasta from sticking.
  • Add the cooked shrimp and chicken to the pasta towards the end of cooking. This will help prevent them from overcooking.
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cream just before serving. This will help create a creamy sauce.
  • Season the pasta to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Garnish the pasta with fresh parsley or basil before serving.
