Step-by-Step Instructions for Shrimp Asparagus Carbonara
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve a cup of pasta water and drizzle olive oil over the pasta after draining.
- In a large non-stick skillet, cook diced bacon over medium heat until crisp, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside, leaving rendered fat in the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add finely diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until onions are translucent.
- Add large shrimp and chopped asparagus to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes until shrimp are pink and asparagus is tender.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg yolks, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and pour in the cream mixture while still hot. Toss everything together and add reserved pasta water if needed.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve in warm bowls, garnished with Parmesan or black pepper as desired.
