Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- ¾ cup regular cream
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (storebought or homemade)
Instructions
- Cook Garlic: Heat the unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat until melted and bubbling. Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to the hot butter and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add Ingredients: Stir in the tomato paste, regular cream, and Cajun seasoning using a rubber whisk or wooden spoon to combine thoroughly.
- Simmer Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer gently, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes or longer until it thickens to your desired consistency. Serve the sauce warm over your favorite dish.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream for the richest texture.
- Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning depending on your preferred spice level.
- This sauce pairs well with chicken, shrimp, pasta, or vegetables.
- For a thicker sauce, simmer a bit longer to reduce the liquid.
