Pappadeaux Yvette Sauce Recipe

Rich, creamy, and packed with layers of smoky depth—Pappadeaux's Yvette Saucesauce makes every dish better!
Here's how to get it right!
Sautéing the mushrooms and shrimp in butter first builds an incredible base of flavor before anything else goes in.
I use a mix of heavy cream and a little chicken broth so the sauce stays creamy without feeling too thick.
A little splash of brandy or dry sherry gives it that restaurant-quality richness without making it too strong.
This sauce is incredible over seafood, but it’s just as good spooned over grilled vegetables or pasta!
