1

Put the flour in a shallow dish and season it with salt and pepper. Dredge the shrimp in the flour, then shake off any excess.
2

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet. Add the shallots and the garlic; cook and stir until softened, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth, the wine, and the lemon juice. Simmer until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes.
3

Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth and the cream; simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly, approximately 10 minutes more. Add the butter and stir until melted.
4

Return the shrimp to the skillet; simmer until heated through, about 3 minutes. Top with Romano cheese and parsley before serving.
