Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional for extra depth)
- ½ tsp lemon juice (optional for brightness)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in heavy cream, Cajun seasoning, and smoked paprika. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
- Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice if using.

Note: Adjust the Cajun seasoning to your spice preference—start with less and add more if needed. For a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer; for a thinner consistency, add a splash of milk or broth. This sauce pairs well with grilled meats, seafood, and pasta for a rich, flavorful finish!
