How to make Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara
But let’s face it, the dishes at the Olive Garden are loaded with fat and calories. I’ve tried to lighten up the dish a bit and modified it slightly.
There is not a lot one can do when faced with cream, cheese and bacon as ingredients but I did try! The combination of chicken and shrimp is amazing!
I slimmed down the marinade. I omitted the topping which saved some of the cheese calories as well as the carbs from the bread crumbs.
I also slimmed down the sauce quite a bit too. I’ve found that substituting skim milk for regular milk always works, especially when cream is also included.
I also found that one never needs the amount of sauces that a restaurant puts on their dishes. The flavor of sauces is very rich and a little goes a long way.
This at home version of the popular dish is sure to please your guests at a fraction of the cost and calories of eating out.
