1 lb penne pasta
1/2 lb shrimp, deveined and shelled
1 cup cream
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 lb bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
1 ounce fresh grated parmesan cheese
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Cook penne paste until al dente. Drain and let cool.

  • Remove onions and garlic, set aside with bacon.
  • Add shrimp and cook until done.
  • Turn heat to low, return bacon, onion, and garlic to pan.
  • Add paprika, red chili pepper flakes, and penne pasta.
  • Add cream and parmesan cheese.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to watch it carefully and remove it from the heat as soon as it's cooked through.
  • Use a good quality pasta. A good quality pasta will hold its shape and texture better than a cheaper pasta.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp and pasta. This will prevent the shrimp and pasta from cooking evenly.
  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese. This will add a pop of flavor and color.
