Zest and juice from 1 lemon

If you have pan fried your fish or chicken, remove from pan and keep warm.
Add oil on medium to high cook shallot until just browning, add garlic and chili flakes until fragrant, about 1 minute.  Add wine,capers then lemon juice and zest. Cook until it begins to thicken, scraping the bottom of the pan.
Pan on medium to low stir in cream and heat.  Start whisking in the butter 1-2 tablespoons at a time waiting until fully mixed until adding more.  When complete season with salt pepper and parsley
Serve immediately

Or as a final step add one tablespoon walkerswood brand Jamaican jerk seasoning. But only if you like spicy!!! It is available at publix and online
