- 2 tablespoons butter

- 4-5 cloves garlic minced

- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
- Prep the shrimp (run them under cool water if they're frozen). You can remove the tails if you want. Pat them dry with paper towel.
- Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Stir in the flour and cook for about a minute.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in the lemon juice + zest, cream, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and cook for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until they're cooked through and the sauce has thickened up a bit (be careful not to overcook the shrimp). Reduce the heat a bit if it's bubbling like crazy/thickening too fast.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese and parsley, then take the skillet off the heat.
- Season with salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
- I do NOT recommend subbing the cream for half-and-half or milk because there is a very good chance the lemon juice will curdle the sauce.
