Creamy A La Mer sauce

I use this sauce to pour over grilled fish or chicken.

1 pint heavy whipping cream (if you're not willing to pack on some extra pounds for a delicious meal, then use half and half instead but increase to 1 1/4 pints)
8 oz. shredded parmesan cheese
2 green onions
1/2 tsp garlic chopped
1 tsp butter
4 oz. water (substitute chicken stock or seafood stock if you'd like)
1 tsp of seafood seasoning or chicken seasoning

Chop the green onions.
Heat saucepan on medium heat.
Add butter, garlic, green onion. Saute until lightly browned
Add water, cook for about 5 minutes
Lower heat and add heavy whipping cream, cook while stirring constantly until a gentile boil, then lower heat to LOW.
Add seafood seasoning or chicken seasoning
Add parmesan cheese to thicken the sauce. Stir in cheese good, then let sit for a minute to melt.

Pour the sauce over top of grilled fish or chicken.  I suggest serving with Rice and veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots are the best).

If you really want to go all out, we also throw in bits of crab meat and shrimp into the sauce at the same time that we add the water.  This makes it a true A La Mer sauce, but sometimes we don't have the ingredients on hand.
