Directions

1). Cut the bacon into small pieces.
2). Peel and mince the garlic.
​3). Whisk the eggs together with the
black pepper and Parmesan.
4). Drain the pasta.
5). Rinse and drain the shrimp.
6). Add the bacon to a large skillet over medium-high heat and fully cook the bacon.
7). Add the garlic to the bacon and cook for 1 more minute.
8). Add the white wine in to deglaze the pan, cooking for about 1 more minute to cook the alcohol off.
9). Reduce the heat to low-medium and add the "pasta" to the bacon and garlic sauce. Toss around for about 1 minute.
10). Add in the shrimp and toss for 1 more minute.
11). Pour in the egg mixture and continue to toss the pasta & shrimp around in the sauce. After a few minutes, the eggs should thicken and resemble a cream sauce. Be careful to not scramble the
eggs. Reduce, or remove from, the heat if this starts to occur.
12). Serve up 1/3 of the mixture, and enjoy slowly, and mindfully until 80% full.

**Pro Tip** - For a complete and balanced meal, serve up with a fist sized serving of your favorite veggie! I enjoy mine with steamed green beans or steamed broccoli!
