Cajun Ponchartrain Sauce

SUBMITTED BY: GhettoGourmetGirl  PHOTO BY: Caroline C 

"My take on the Ponchartrain sauce served at a popular seafood restaurant chain in my town. Although I prefer Snapper, it may be ladled over any grilled, blackened, steamed, or pan fried fish. Very elegant and easy! Great idea for a romantic candlelight dinner for two."
