This sherry cream sauce is delicious with fish or seafood. Ingredients include butter, garlic, onion, cream, sherry, and seasonings. This is the perfect sauce for halibut, haddock, snapper, or any other mild white fish or seafood.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon clam base or lobster base
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sherry
- salt and pepper, to taste
- paprika, optional
- Creole or Cajun seasoning, optional
- ground nutmeg, optional
PREPARATION:
Melt butter in saucepan over medium-low heat. Press garlic or smash and mince very finely; add to butter. Add the chopped onion and clam base. Saute for about 1 minute. Add cream and sherry; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes, to reduce the sauce by about 1/4 to 1/3. Taste and add salt and pepper, along with other seasonings you might like. I like a little paprika for color and sometimes Cajun seasoning, sometimes nutmeg.
