How to Make Cajun Ponchartrain Sauce
- Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the saucepan. Cook until pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes.
- Transfer the shrimp and mushroom mixture to a bowl and set aside.
- In the same saucepan, melt the remaining 2 teaspoons of butter.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream.
- Add the shrimp and mushroom mixture back to the saucepan. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper (about 1/4 teaspoon to start, adjust to taste).
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Just before serving, stir in 1/4 cup of dry white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio).
