What is the fourier transform of $e^{2t-t^2}$?

I have tried to solve the transform for this exponential but haven't been able to work out how to do it. I know the transform for $e^{-t^2}$ but coupled with the positive term it becomes very difficult to solve.

From \eqref{1} to \eqref{2}, I performed a contour deformation to restore the integration to the real axis.
