Gray Shrimps Carbonara

This is one of those recipes that I wanted to do since I discovered gray shrimps or Dutch Shrimps or Grijze Garnalen or one of the many other names they have. They are so tasty and small that to me they always appeared as the perfect replacement of bacon in the traditional carbonara recipe. Great replacement since they make the dish both tastier and lighter!

I am aware that it might be difficult to find them (and be warned that they can only be bought cooked, and I here refer to the cooked & peeled even). If this appears to be the case to you, try to get some king prawns (yes the gray looking ones) and use them chopped. It won't be the same, but it would give you an hint on how good this pasta really is!!
