Ingredients
-
½ cup unsalted butter
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
-
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
-
½ teaspoon onion powder
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
¼ teaspoon salt (optional, to taste)
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
2 tablespoons heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
-
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
-
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
-
Stir in the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
-
Lower the heat and mix in the grated Parmesan, stirring constantly until melted.
-
Add the heavy cream and stir until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
-
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley if using, and serve warm!
Notes
-
Freshly grated Parmesan melts better than pre-shredded.
-
You can adjust the heat by using a milder Cajun seasoning or adding more cayenne if you want it spicier.
-
Milk can be used instead of heavy cream for a lighter version, but the sauce will be slightly thinner.
-
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheated gently on the stove or in the microwave.
