Shrimp Carbonara

So Tuesday's dinner was good!!!
I made shrimp carbonara and it turned out very good, and was pretty easy to make........I like easy dinners!!  I make something very similar to this, but that is for another day....lol

So here is the recipe
220g Spaghetti  (i used 400g)
4 Slices of bacon, chopped
1-lb (450g) of uncooked deveined peeled large shrimp
1 cup frozen peas
1 tub (250g) herb and garlic cream cheese
1/2 c milk
1/4 c Parmesan cheese

Start cooking your spaghetti (no salt) while that cooks fry your bacon in a pan until crisp. Remove bacon from pan when cooked, drain all but about 1tbsp of drippings from pan and than add your shrimp. Cook and stir until its pink (about 5 mins) than stir in your peas and cook for about 1 min or so.  Add your cream cheese and milk, cook and stir until cream cheese is mealted and  sauce is thickened, do not let it boil.
Drain your noodles and mix everything together, Top with parmesan!!

*TIPS*
I used the extra thick cut bacon for mine as i found it held together better.  And you could just use regular Alfredo sauce instead of the cream cheese

Check back tomorrow for a new recipe
