For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio) to the sauce after cooking the garlic. Feel free to adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to suit your spice preference. Start with less and add more to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions for a pop of color and freshness. Serve with a crisp green salad or crusty bread to complete the meal. Heavy cream can be substituted for milk, it will create a richer sauce. But remember to add the cream slowly and stir gently.
