Cook the bacon. Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon to the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or to a desired crispness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the shrimp. Add butter to the skillet and let it melt. Stir in the shrimp and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until just cooked through and pink. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Make the sauce. Add chicken broth to the hot skillet and cook for 30 seconds. Whisk in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
Add cheese. Whisk in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Lower the heat to a steady simmer and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until creamy and thickened.
Put it all together. Return the bacon and shrimp to the skillet and let them simmer for a minute, or just until heated through. Taste for seasonings and adjust accordingly.
Finish and serve. Squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp; stir and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with lemon slices.
