Awesome Garlic Shrimp in a Creamy Cheese Sauce image

This is a great tasting dish that you can have on the table in under an hour. I worked on this for a bit until I got the proportions correct. I think that the bacon, and the cream cheese just send it over the top. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.
