    Preparation Steps

    1

    Finely chop the jalapeño peppers (remove the seeds if you prefer a milder sauce), zest one of the limes, and juice both limes. Peel and mince the garlic.

    2

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and chopped jalapeño peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.

    3

    Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in the lime juice and lime zest. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.

    4

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. For a more intense lime flavor, add a squeeze of extra lime juice.

    5

    If you prefer a smoother sauce, purée it with an immersion blender. Let cool slightly before serving.

    6

    Serve with roasted chicken, grilled fish, or vegetables. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
