  2. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute. Then, sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the flour turns golden brown.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of chicken broth, then stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of Creole seasoning, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper, if using. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  4. Gently place the red snapper fillets into the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve immediately over cooked rice, garnishing with additional parsley if desired.
