- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook shrimp until pink, 3-5 minutes.
- Drain pasta and add to skillet with shrimp, use tongs to combine well. Stir in cheese mixture and parsley, quickly tossing them together to evenly coat the pasta and prevent eggs from scrambling. Add additional pasta water to make a creamy sauce. Just before serving, add bacon. Transfer to a platter and garnish with parsley, more Parmesan and pepper.
