  3. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  4. Pour 1/4 cup of the milk mixture into a bowl; add eggs and stir until warmed through. Pour egg mixture over shrimp and pasta and stir in remaining milk mixture.
  5. Top with Parmesan cheese and parsley.

Craig Richardson
Bad recipe that ruined my dish terribly. Does not specify what happens and tasted bland. I wish I could give zero stars.

I have a bacon lover at my house, so cooked some bacon and used a bit of the grease for the shrimp and onions/garlic. I also sauteed some garlic for the shrimp and added a bit of Old Bay. It was good!
Julie Baker
No flavor. If you make it be sure to add any kind of Italian seasonings that you may like. I added Old Bay to give it a seafood flare.
Cody Davis
I cut the portions back to 3 and made no other changes. This would have been so much better with the traditional bacon but I understand that the submitter was aiming for a low fat dish. Thanks for sharing.
