Shrimp Asparagus Carbonara

🧂 Ingredients

• 8 slices bacon

  Diced. I like to use bacon with less fat, or cut away excess fat.
• 1/3 cup onion

  finely diced
• 1 clove garlic

  finely minced
• 16 oz large shrimp

  tail-off
• 1 cup fresh asparagus

  chopped into pieces
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 cup parmesan cheese

  grated
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 12 oz spaghetti

Instructions

• 1 Cook pasta, drain and set aside. (Keep warm) I like to add a drizzle of olive
  oil to prevent the spaghetti from sticking together.
• 2 Using a large non-stick skillet, cook the bacon until crisp.
• 3 Add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are soft. (about 2 minutes)
• 4 Add the shrimp and asparagus, cook an additional 4-5 minutes.
• 5 In a small bowl combine the cream, egg yolks, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
• 6 Add the shrimp and asparagus mixture into the cooked pasta.
• 7 While the pasta mixture is still hot, stir in the cream, egg and cheese mixture.
  Toss to completely combine.
• 8 Season to taste with extra fresh ground pepper and salt.
