I know you said you found what you were looking for, but for future reference, I grew up cooking out of this book with my mom:

http://www.amazon.com/Tout-Suite-Microwave-gourmets-cookbook/dp/0960536205

Tout-Suite and Tout-Suite II were whole books of cajun cooking you could do in the microwave. My favorite was Shrimp Pontchartrain, which has got a delicious buttery cream sauce. Everything in those books was cooked in the microwave. It's all about playing with the power settings.

Thank you for the link, I normally do too..I wanted a shortcut for a complicated recipe and the cream sauce is just one ingredient.

I like to do everything on the stove, but that first link seemed like a good option to me.
