### How to Make Cajun Cream Sauce
**1. Heat Olive Oil:**
Start by heating olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
**2. Add Garlic and Spices:**
Next, add the minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir well and cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, and the spices become aromatic. This step brings out all the flavors and helps the spices infuse into the sauce.
**3. Stir in Cream and Broth:**
Now, pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir continuously to combine all the ingredients and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken up. If you like a thinner sauce, you can adjust the consistency by adding more chicken broth or cream.
