>>21398503 (OP) Most likely the scampy, but certain days I would insist on alfredo. Never carbonara, it's just a poor man's alfredo and lacks chutzpah

>>21398503 (OP) What the fuck is shrimp carbonara even supposed to be? It's not like you're gonna get some rendered fat from your shrimps. That's the base of every carbonara even if you use bacon instead of guanciale or pancetta
>>21401166 I think they make carbonara as normal and add shrimpies

>>21398503 (OP) Scampi by a mile. It's so easy to make. Just saute some shrimps in olive oil and garlic with some squeeze of lemon, add some cooked pasta (angel hair preferred), a dash of pasta water and then freshly grated parmesan cheese until desired creaminess level. Garnished with a hefty amount of parsley, perfecto

>>21401166 It just is carbonara but adds shrimp to make it a protein heavy meal
You can use chicken in any of these but shrimp is tastier

>>21398546 They are not luxury items, nor do places like Olive Garden who serve it actually use real dairy foods to make it. 9 out of 10 times a restaurant alfredo is from a bag or a mix. It takes real skill to make the other dishes. And also they're less heavy and more refined.
>>21401885 >You can only eat Alfredo at chain restaurants Plenty people make this, anon. It's probably the third most definitive Italian American plated dish after Chicken Parmesan and Spaghetti and Meatballs
>>21398503 (OP) In the UK, scampi means something very different. We offer scampi and chips as the sort of diet option instead of fish and chips. Need to slather them bitches in tartare sauce.
>>21401976 Well "scampi" in Italian is a shrimp like animal, in the US it refers to the usual dish of that animal "cooked in butter and garlic" but generally swapped with shrimp. And "shrimp scampi" is just sort of the shorthand name for the pasta dish
>>21402015 Cool. Here its shrimp/prawn off-cuts smooshed together, breaded and fried. It's basically tasteless and served as an alternative for people watching their weight because a full portion of fish and chips would be too much.
