Cajun Ponchartrain Sauce

Loaded with crumbled italian sausage (mild or spicy can be used here), plenty of freshly grated parmesan and fresh basil leaves.

Recipe Summary Cajun Ponchartrain Sauce

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.
