Taste Profile
Sweet shrimp against smoky bacon in a cream sauce with a little pepper sweetness. Lighter on the fork than the chicken version because there is less on the plate.
At 1200 calories with 81 g of fat and 1,710 mg of sodium it is lighter than the chicken and shrimp carbonara by about 170 calories.
Healthier alternative: Shrimp scampi keeps the shrimp and drops the cream for 490 calories.
“The better carbonara of the two if you want the shrimp to show up. The bacon does most of the seasoning work, so it never tastes bland.”
