Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chicken Breast Recipes. (Chicken and Shrimp Carbonara Recipe). My wife and I went to that popular Italian-American restaurant chain for dinner recently, and I had their shrimp and chicken carbonara. It was absolutely delicious and I thought, 'What the heck, I'll try making this at home.' I found a few recipes online, but none grabbed me. After studying several recipes, I came up with this recipe on my own. It's fairly simple to make, and my wife said it was better than the original.
