Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly to combine with the butter and garlic.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, a little at a time, until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Add the Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, black pepper, and, if desired, red pepper flakes. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 7

Allow the sauce to simmer, stirring occasionally, for another 5 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Remove the sauce from heat and taste for seasoning, adjusting as necessary.

Step 9

Serve immediately over your choice of pasta, chicken, or seafood, and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant touch.
