Stir in white cheddar, heavy cream, and Italian seasoning. After giving it a good stir, boil the sauce. Lower the heat to medium and stir continuously until the mixture thickens to the desired consistency.

STORING GUIDELINES
How to keep things in storage. Creamy garlic prawns can be kept in the fridge for up to three days when stored in an airtight container.
Reheat in this way: Reheat in the microwave or on the stove over medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the prawns are thoroughly warmed. It’s possible that the sauce thickened in the fridge, so thin it out with a little water until the right consistency is reached.
