Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter or olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning—sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Next, pour in ½ cup of dry white wine, increasing the heat to medium-high. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes, letting the wine reduce by half.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, mixing well to combine. Continue to cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the cream is heated through and the sauce begins to thicken.
  4. If desired, add ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the creamy mixture, stirring vigorously until it melts completely.
  5. Taste your Cajun sauce and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Once seasoned, serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.

Notes

Use heavy whipping cream for the richest texture; if you opt for milk, the sauce will be less creamy. Taste as you go to adjust seasoning.
