kosher salt
- 1 lb.

- 2
large eggs, room temperature
- 2
egg yolks, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups
freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
Freshly ground black pepper
- 8 oz.
bacon, cut into 1/2" slices
- 1 lb.
shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup
chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
Directions
- Step 1Bring an 8-quart stock pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl combine eggs, yolks and Parmesan; mix well with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 2In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a bowl. Do not drain the fat. Return skillet to medium-high heat and add 1/4 cup pasta water. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and cook until pink, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Step 3Drain pasta and add to skillet with shrimp; use tongs to combine well. Stir in cheese mixture and parsley, quickly tossing together to evenly coat pasta and prevent eggs from scrambling. Add additional pasta water to make a creamy sauce. Just before serving, add bacon.
- Step 4Transfer to a platter and garnish with parsley, more Parmesan and pepper.
