Instructions

1. Prepare the Pasta and Sauce
   Begin by cooking the pasta and sauce in the microwave, following the package directions. Use a separate microwavable dish for this step. This should take around 10-12 minutes depending on the product you use.

2. Fry the Bacon
   While the pasta is cooking, fry the bacon in a large frying pan over medium heat until it’s crisp and golden brown. This should take about 6-8 minutes. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, but be sure to reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings in the pan.

3. Sauté the Shrimp and Mushrooms
   Add the shrimp and mushrooms to the frying pan with the reserved bacon drippings. Sauté over medium heat until the mushrooms are tender and the shrimp are heated through, which should take about 4-5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough.

4. Crumble the Bacon
   While the shrimp and mushrooms are cooking, crumble the cooled bacon into small pieces.

5. Combine and Serve
   Once the shrimp and mushrooms are done, stir them into the cooked pasta and sauce. Add the crumbled bacon and mix everything together until well combined. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the creamy, garlicky goodness!

This Way-Easy Creamy Garlic Shrimp Pasta is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a delightful meal for two. The combination of crispy bacon, tender shrimp, and earthy mushrooms with the creamy garlic sauce is sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection. Enjoy! 🍤🍝🧄
