Shrimp with Pasta and Cream Sauce:

A very delicious, very rich dinner.
What you need. What you do.
1/4 lb. bacon diced. 1/4 cup minced onion. In a covered sauce pan, fry bacon until crisp. Add onion and heat until tender.
1 cup heavy cream. 2 raw eggs whipped. Reduce heat and slowly stir in cream. Slowly stir in eggs. Cook until hot and beginning to thicken. (Note)
1/2 cup vermouth. Slowly stir in vermouth.
2 cups cooked, peeled, and deveined baby shrimp. 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms. 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese. 1/2 tsp each salt, ground black pepper, crushed tarragon, and crushed rosemary. Add shrimp, mushrooms, salt, pepper, tarragon and rosemary. Stir until hot. Sprinkle in parmesan and stir to mix. Keep hot and allow to mellow while preparing pasta.
Preheat oven to 350 deg.
1 lb. linguine. 2 tsp salt. water. Cook linguine in boiling salt water until al dente. Drain.
Shredded Mozzarella cheese. Turn on broiler. Place individual servings of pasta in oven proof boats. Spoon on shrimp cream sauce. Cover with a layer of Mozzarella and bake until cheese is melted. Turn on broiler for 2 minutes to brown cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
Note: Try not to boil this sauce. If it boils too hard the cream will lump. This will not affect the flavor, but it will affect the texture.
