1 pound shrimp (I used 31-40 count size) thawed & peeled

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon flour

3-4 cloves garlic minced

2 cup heavy/whipping cream

ΒΌ cup Parmesan, shredded

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Melt the butter on medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the flour and cook for about a minute, stirring until smooth.

Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Stir in the cream, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, Parmesan and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 2 minutes.

Add the shrimp and cook for around 5 minutes or until they’re cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened, taking care not to overcook them.
