My family and I love this recipe. It would be good for a Meat Free Monday meal but I usually throw some grilled chicken in it. Like the other reviewer said before, it is not too hot with the jalapenos in it. The kids gobble it up and have no problem with heat. I love anything lemon. I will post a picture the next time I make this since there isn't one on here.Reply

Delicious! I made half this recipe and then cut the halved butter in half again to 2T (that was more than enough). I thought this may be too spicy with the jalapeno and red pepper flakes but it was just right. I served this with Tilapia and fresh broccoli and was very pleased with the result.Reply
