Print: 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.
