Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika 
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or dill, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Sauté the Garlic: In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

  2. Deglaze with Wine: Add the white wine to the pan, scraping any bits off the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reduces slightly.

  3. Add the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

  4. Finish the Sauce: Stir in the lemon juice, salt, pepper, paprika (if using), and Parmesan cheese. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or dill. Serve over grilled or baked salmon, shrimp, or any seafood of your choice.

This garlic cream sauce is a simple yet elegant way to enhance the flavor of your seafood dishes, making every bite a rich and satisfying experience.
