Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I like to prepare all my ingredients ahead of time. It just makes the process smoother! First, I melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the onions and garlic until they’re fragrant and translucent. Then, I sprinkle in the flour and stir well to create a roux, cooking it for about a minute until it starts bubbling. Gradually, I whisk in the seafood stock and cream, watching as it thickens into a luxuriously creamy sauce. This is where the magic begins! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
