For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the skillet along with the lemon juice and cream.
Clarified butter is recommended for its high smoke point, but regular butter can be used as a substitute. Be careful not to burn it.
Adjust the amount of garlic and cayenne pepper to suit your personal preference.
Serve with a side of green salad to provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of the dish.
