Step 1

Add bacon to large pan over medium heat and fry until golden brown.  Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels leaving the drippings in the pan.

Step 2

Add butter to drippings and allow to melt then saute onions until tender.

Step 3

While onions saute, season shrimp with cajun seasoning and toss in seasoning then set aside.

Step 4

Next add garlic and saute for about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Finally add shrimp to pan and cook only about 1 ½- 2 minutes per side then remove.

Step 6

Add chicken stock and lemon juice and deglaze pan getting up all of the flavor that is stuck to the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Next stir in whipping cream then add chicken bouillon seasoning and additional cajun seasoning to taste.  The color of the sauce should be somewhat orangey from the seasonings.

Step 8

Bring your heat to medium low and allow the sauce to simmer and thicken for about 10 minutes.  If still not thick enough for your preference, add a bit of flour or cornstarch to the sauce to thicken quicker.  Allow it to cook for an additional minute or so then turn off heat.

Step 9

Stir back in the shrimp and coat with sauce.  Next sprinkle bacon and parsley on top.
