Place large sauce pan over medium heat.
Add your olive oil, garlic, onion, white vinegar, and shrimp. Spread around until shrimp are pink and in the shape of a perfect "c".
Once the onions become a little more clear, and the shrimp is pink, add the cooked chicken pieces.
Add the milk and spinach. Stir until all is well combined.
Add the four to thicken, and whisk until smooth.
Add the mozzarella and parmesan cheese, Mix until well combined and the cheese begins to melt, and stretch.
Remove pan from heat and stir in the Italian Seasoning, black pepper and garlic salt.
Serve over angel hair pasta, or any of your favorite pasta.

Notes

If you feel like you want to spice of your Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara, don’t be afraid to add a little flavor to it.
My husband loves when I add a little ranch seasoning mix to it.
I love adding some sun dried tomatoes, or some more vegetables like asparagus, or zucchini.
I also love using zucchini noodles instead of angel hair pasta, just for a carb-friendly and delicious dish.
