Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara
I had chicken and shrimp carbonara at that popular Italian-American restaurant chain recently, and it was absolutely delicious. I decided to re-create it at home, but the recipes I found online didn't appeal to me. So, I came up with this recipe on my own. It's fairly simple to make, and my wife said it was better than the original. Serve with breadsticks, an Italian salad, and your favorite white wine.
