How To Make Cajun Sauce Recipe?

• Next, in a large skillet, add in your heavy whipping cream and stir.

Variations and ideas

• This Cajun Alfredo sauce makes the perfect sauce for your whole family. Try with cajun chicken wings, smoked sausage, chicken thighs, or seafood for all of my seafood lovers. I want to mention that I tried this creamy Cajun sauce recipe on my snow crab legs, and boy, it was good.

• If you don’t have your favorite Cajun seasoning, use Slap ya Mama seasoning and other seasonings such as creole seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. This will enhance this spicy sauce even more.
