Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced shallots and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender and translucent.

  5. Slowly whisk in half and half and cook for another 2-3 minutes on low heat until creamy.
  6. Add soy sauce, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
