For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the sauce just before serving. Grilled chicken or shrimp can be added for a heartier meal. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can blend the pepper mixture before adding the sour cream and broth. Fresh basil or parsley makes a bright, flavorful garnish.
