Equipment

  • Large Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic minced
  • ½ yellow onion minced
  • 1 Tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2 pounds small shrimp
  • 2 pounds chicken cooked and cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1½ cups 2% milk any will work
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach

Instructions

  • 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.
