Spice Tips
For warmth, increase red pepper flakes to 1/2 teaspoon. For a finish of fresh heat, crack extra black pepper over the plate. A pinch of smoked paprika adds depth without additional spice.
For extra flavor, serve with crusty bread to soak up the pan juices. Substitute white wine for half the lemon juice if you'd like.
