Shrimp Florentine With Caramelized Garlic image

I cut this out of a magazine a LONG time ago and it's one of my husband and I's favorite stand-by dishes! Don't be afraid of the garlic. The roasting mellows it out. I usually add even more than stated and he and I fight over every last one of them.

I used frozen shrimp and it turned out great! I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
