In a sauce pan, melt the butter and gently whisk in the flour. Add the garlic and lemon juice, and stir. Add the shrimps and cook just until they are turning white; add milk little at a time and let mixture simmer to thicken to your desired consistency. DO NOT BRING TO FULL BOIL. If desired, toss in a pinch or two of the chopped parsley near the end. Taste to see if sauce needs more lemon juice, salt or pepper. When loaf is done, turn out onto a platter, cut into at least 1 inch slices, spoon sauce over slices and serve.

Good accompaniments to this dish are green vegetables that are slightly sweet such as baby English peas or snow peas. A crisp Pinot Grigio goes well with the dish, or if you don't like the dish, drink enough wine so that you don't care.
