All of this yumminess started when I made Tuscan Butter Salmon. OMG so delish and the sauce, oh, that sauce! Next, I tried it with jumbo shrimp! A repeat of deliciousness! I am thinking chicken will be the next try! To lighten this dish you can absolutely halve the cream and only use 1/4 cup! Just use a little more broth in its place.

The instructions say to add cream cheese, but the ingredients list doesn’t have that. Is it supposed to mean heavy cream?
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
It says add cream and cheese. 🙂

Made this for dinner tonight. It was great. Hubs is on a low salt diet so I added a bit of red pepper flake for a little kick instead of the salt. He says it needs more sauce so might double the cream and cheese next time. Served it over pasta.

I forgot to say, I HATE mushrooms so I left them out.
