This is very similar to a previous recipe I published, with just a few changes like spices and other little things, but the steps are basically the same. It's a meal I love because it doesn't need any side dishes; it has everything—pasta, vegetables, protein, and flavor.

Steps

1

Sprinkle the peeled shrimp with a little turmeric, salt, curry powder, and paprika. It might sound like a lot of spices, but trust me, it's not overpowering and gives an amazing flavor. Set aside (if you can let it rest for a while, that would be great, but it's optional).
2

Cut the bacon into small pieces and cook it in a hot pan until it releases all its fat. If using turkey bacon, add a little olive oil. Let it brown a bit, then add the cubed chicken and stir. When the chicken is almost fully cooked, add the shrimp and keep stirring until the shrimp turn orange. Then, set everything aside.
3

In the same pan, add a little butter and sauté the garlic and onion until slightly softened.
4

Add the broccoli or your preferred vegetable. I sometimes use both broccoli and zucchini. Stir, add a little salt, and keep stirring.
5

Add plenty of cream, and if it seems too thick, you can add a little milk or water and keep stirring. *Tip: Before pouring the cream, if it's too thick, I add milk to the container, stir, and then pour it in.
6

Add the previously cooked spaghetti, but make sure it's al dente. You can add Parmesan cheese here. Also, add the reserved shrimp, chicken, and bacon, along with a little parsley, and mix everything together.
7

Cover and let the broccoli and spaghetti finish cooking. If it seems too dry, you can add more milk or chicken broth.
8

It's ready to serve, and you can add more Parmesan cheese to taste once it's on the plate. It's a complete meal that doesn't need any other dish, as it has pasta, vegetables, meat, and seafood—a very complete and delicious meal.
